Description: Teaching students the difference between humor and insults is an essential part of developing strong social skills, pragmatic language, and an effective speech filter. Many students with Autism, Social Communication Disorder, ADHD, or other social language challenges have difficulty recognizing when a comment is funny, inappropriate, or hurtful. This lesson helps students learn how to recognize respectful humor while considering another person's feelings. Using real-life scenarios, students practice perspective taking, Theory of Mind, point of view, and social inference as they decide whether comments are humorous or insulting. This lesson encourages students to think about how their words affect others and builds the foundation for appropriate conversations and healthy peer relationships. This bundle includes: 45 Interactive BOOM™ Cards 14 instructional teaching cards 23 discussion scenarios 15 multiple-choice questions 7 true/false activities 2 fill-in-the-blank activities 6 open-ended response cards to assess reasoning and explanation skills BONUS 1-page printable for homework, carryover practice, independent work, or progress monitoring. This resource works well for individual therapy, small groups, classroom lessons, and independent practice while helping students improve social judgment and conversational awareness.
