  53. Kelsey Collins

    I like having this resource on hand. It has definitely come in handy with some of my older students. The only drawback for me was that it was a TON of prep work to have it fully functional (cut, laminated, and put on a ring/rings). I knew that it would need some work to be functional as shown in the picture, I just had not planned for it needing that much work beforehand.

  54. Hannah F.

    A fun resource that keeps my students engaged during group.

  55. Rylie A.

    Perfect resource for conversation maintenance. There is so many topics to choose from.

  56. Kharyl B.

    I always start my sessions with one of these conversation starter prompts

  57. Shari J.

    I printed these out to have on hand during my sessions. They are great to pull out during those odd minutes at the end.

  58. Amy O.

    This has been a resource that I go to for a quick conversation starter for my social language groups.
