Description
Practice social skills: making inferences, identifying emotions, 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:
– 24 picture cards with thought bubbles above each head (color and black & white)
– 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
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 on a popsicle stick. Practice the same concept – only on real people! 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.
