Lesson 1: The Ice Breaker teaches students how to initiate conversations with acquaintances using natural conversation starters. Students also learn about appropriate conversation topics, social boundaries, and why asking personal questions too soon can make others uncomfortable. Lesson 2: Small Talk teaches students how to maintain conversations through topic maintenance, appropriate responses, and simple back-and-forth exchanges that build comfortable social interactions. This bundle includes 90 Boom Cards™ featuring 77 unique real-life scenarios, including instructional cards, True/False, multiple-choice, and open-ended activities. Students also practice using a speech filter, staying on topic, and identifying feelings and emotions to strengthen social communication. BONUS: Includes an exclusive 6-page printable worksheet pack available only in this bundle for additional practice, homework, therapy carryover, or classroom activities.
