Pragmatic language & perspective taking social skills What are they thinking?

Some of our kiddos need support with perspective-taking skills. But how do we do this? This product gives you activities to practice perspective-taking and inferencing. The activities include following eye gaze and body positioning to guess the thoughts and feelings of others (pragmatic language development).

There are 2 card sets (which can be played together or separately). With the "Look at a ..." cards, the individual chooses a card that has instructions to look at an item typically found in a classroom or speech room. For the "What are they thinking cards" they practice thinking about 2 different things they might think about when looking at the object.

This activity also includes

• 24 "Look at a ..." Cards: Have the student "look at" an item in the classroom that is shown on the picture card. Then have other students make a smart guess about what they are looking at and what they might be thinking. There are color and black and white card sets. Print out 2 sets and play with a matching game or go fish.

• 16 "What are they thinking cards": Students can look at the image on the page and make an inference or a smart guess about what someone might be thinking. These cards sets are available in color or black and white.

• General game board with questions for practicing inferencing and making smart guesses. This is perfect for students to color!

• Matching worksheet activity for inferencing and smart guesses.

• Maze worksheet activity for additional practice for inferencing and making smart guesses.

Enjoy practicing making smart guesses and making inferences.

What other SLPs are saying:

This has been a great addition to my resources for my social skills groups. They teach the concept in several different ways and my students loved them all.

 Great resource for a printable option. Can also turn in to a digital through slides or Jamboard. Kids really enjoyed completing this work.

Good resource with relevant social situations!
