Description
This activity will give your students plenty of problem solving practice using these scenario task cards! Each social scenario will give your student an opportunity to determine whether or not the situation calls for a compromise.
Compromising is important and something we teach all students with problem solving difficulties. However, compromising does not fix a problem when someone needs something. This can be hard for students to understand, especially those students who have worked hard to develop their important compromising skills.
HOW WILL THIS HELP MY STUDENTS?
Here is an example:
You have your friend over to visit. You want your cat in the room with you, but your friend is allergic to cats and requests it stays in another room.
A common answer from a student who has not learnt the difference between a "need" vs a "want" may attempt to offer a compromise in this situation. E.g. 30 minutes with the cat in the room, 30 minutes with the cat out of the room, rather than understanding that this is a "need" and ensuring their friend does not develop an allergic reaction.
The problem solving scenarios in these cards will be mixed - some where it is appropriate to compromise, as well as some where it is NOT appropriate (their friend is actually in need of something).
SAVE TIME SESSION PLANNING!
These task cards will help to take therapy session planning and brainstorming OUT of your hands and should last you several therapy sessions. When mixed with other task card decks or therapy activities, this deck alone should last months for a weekly student!!
A QUICK AND EASY "GO TO" FOR YOUR TOOL BAG!
Very low prep (just print and go, or even quicker - just read from your laptop/tablet!).
WHAT'S INCLUDED?
- PDF file of 42x task cards
- Coloured AND black and white version
WHO CAN USE THEM?
Regular education teachers, special education teachers, SLPs, OTs and other support professionals could all benefit from using these task cards with their students. These cards are specifically designed for middle and high school aged students.
HOW DO I USE THEM?
*These task cards can be used for an individual, a small group or a class*
Individual ideas:
o Side activity during a board game or other therapy activity!
o A “break” between therapy activities if the other activities are worksheet-heavy or targeting another skill!
o Use these cards as a therapy activity itself (I do!)
o “Warm up cards” for the start of each session.
o Quick assessment of skills.
o Homework.
o Use them as conversation prompts/starters.
You can even use them to simultaneously target additional skills like expressive language, speech, reading comprehension/decoding.
Small group and/or classroom ideas:
o Put the task cards up in different parts of the room (or outside!) and have students walk around with the room with their answer sheets and clip boards.
o Have students get into pairs and talk about their answers and thoughts together.
o Use a card or two each morning as part of a guided class discussion.
o Use the cards as a guide for an open ended quiz. Use the flashcards to ask the class the questions, and get the students to write their answers on a sheet to hand up.
