Description
Are you searching for purposeful social skills activities for middle school and high school students? It’s a difficult topic, and it is hard to find something age-appropriate for your speech and language sessions. Check out these functional, real-world problem-solving scenarios for teens.
Make working on social skills activities fun and engaging!
Working on pragmatics is difficult. Working on pragmatics with middle schoolers and high schoolers is even harder. Use this thorough product designed to work on a variety of social skills activities within the community. These interactive activities will give your students control of the situations and questions presented.
There are 80 social scenarios included, plus options to include custom-made ones depending on your student’s needs.
The social skills activities in this product are organized in order from easiest to hardest. Keep in mind, that many of these questions don’t have one right answer. The more complex cards are great for discussions.
Some of these scenarios are difficult, even for adults, but are real situations that will arise in life that are important to think about and discuss. If you find them too difficult for the teenager you are working with, try asking a different question that is more direct.
Pragmatic Concepts Targeted With This Product:
- Topic maintenance
- Initiating conversations
- Asking & answering questions
- Identifying non-verbal aspects of language
- Identifying the problem & solution
- Spontaneously seeking assistance
- Asking questions to clarify
► Are you struggling to engage your middle and high school students in conversation?
► Do you need functional language activities that are age-appropriate?
► Do you want a structured activity that covers a variety of pragmatic goals?
► Do you need activities that work for one-on-one sessions and group sessions?
✅ WHAT’S INCLUDED:
Store & Situation Cards
Place the cards in 2 piles face down – store & situations. Have the student pick one card from each pile, applying the situation to the store and answering.
These situations are the most basic and result in a straightforward answer.
Social Conversations
Pages discussing “Initiating Conversation,” “Asking & Answering Questions,” and “Body Language.” Includes 6 open-ended or multiple-choice questions per page.
Pick Your Adventure Pragmatics Book
Includes: Map with stores, 6 pages (a page per store) with 4 corresponding scenarios on each page.
The student makes 3 choices:
Choose a store from the map
Choose if they are shopping or browsing
Choose if they are alone or with friends
There are 24 possible options to choose from. Each one has a separate scenario to respond to.
Social Experience Web Maps
Going to the Doctor, Going to a Restaurant, Going to the Hair Salon
Each page shows a web map starting from the beginning of the experience to the end, with various social situations that arise. The student is asked to find solutions incorporating many pragmatic skills. Start at the beginning of the web diagram, read & answer each situation before moving on to the next box. Works great for group discussions.
Personal Reflection Worksheet
Single page with questions about difficult social situations and how to overcome them.
“Roll the Dice” Pragmatics Game
A generalization activity that targets thinking of a problem & solution. The purpose is to think about the social scenarios that may arise before you are put in a particular situation. This is the most challenging activity in the packet.

This was a HUGE hit with my students! They loved having more choices to “change” the questions based on which options they picked. They also really enjoyed coming up with their own potential problems based on the location, then walking through the problem solving steps to see if the likely outcome matched what they were anticipating it to be. This was great for problem solving (especially in groups!) and perspective taking!

I have found this resource very helpful with my high school students who have Autism or intellectual disabilities. It provides examples that apply to the real world and that are on the appropriate level for their age. I like the pages with multiple choice answers so that my students can read and answer choices without having to come up with the answer on their own. I have learned from those multiple choice activities that my students understand more than I thought because they are not always able to think of the answers on their own but they are better at comprehending what they read.

Esther Hood –
I love this product for teaching social skills in the community. I am a music therapist and I used my purchase as visual aids to lead a “shopping” themed unit for groups of young adults with special needs. It is such a great help to have these images to support the community life skills I target, particularly as they are simple and easy to understand but not too “kiddie.” It can be difficult to scale my lessons so they are age appropriate for teens and adults. Can’t wait to explore the online shop some more.
