Thought Bubble Inferences Picture Cards

Description

Social emotional learning activities for speech therapy! Work on making inferences, problem solving, identifying emotions, feelings, empathy, what you should think versus say, and conversational skills.

This activity can be open-ended or structured if used with the supports.

This is a perfect activity for kids whose joint attention or reading comprehension skills could negatively affect making correct inferences. This activity is solely pictures, allowing correct assessment of inferencing skills.

INCLUDES

• 12 emotions cards to discuss typical body language and facial expressions associated with an emotion
• 24 picture cards with thought bubbles
• Pre-made examples for each thought bubble to use for matching
• 1 page answer key for pre-made thought bubbles to pictures
• 2 full-page thought bubbles to mount on popsicle sticks and use in role-play

A NO PRINT version is included. You can use this resource on your device without printing or assembling! Open in an annotation app or Adobe Reader.

DIRECTIONS

Cut out the 24 cards and pre-made thought bubbles. Laminate if desired for durability.

Present the picture card and ask:

• What are they thinking?
• What are they feeling?

Follow up questions:

• What might they say?
• What could you ask them?

To play with increased support, present a picture card and a field of pre-made thought bubbles and have the student match the correct thought to the correct person.

Print the big thought bubbles on card stock then mount them on a popsicle stick. Practice the same concept – only on real people! The clinician or student holds up the thought bubble to their head and the other player identifies the emotion or thoughts as a result of facial expressions or actions.
