Use these social skills task cards to discuss real social situations. They teach conversation skills, empathy, friendships, dealing with conflicts, and basic interactions. Each set of cards has a specific focus so that you can use the cards with your students to highlight specific skills at a time. Of course, you can always mix the cards to incorporate all skills at once, if appropriate for your students. They can be used for a variety of age/grade groups from elementary to middle school to improve social skills and behavior. Digital Version for Google Slides I have added a digital version for Google Slides, allowing your students to review the task cards and type their responses. To access this version, please download the zip file. Unzip it, and then open the PDF with "digital directions" in the title. This will allow you to open a PDF with a link in a blue box.
