Description: Laughing is not an easy Social Skills activity to target. Do you have a student that laughs at inappropriate times? Maybe they lack a social filter ? Do they struggle with why they shouldn't always laugh at something even if it looks or sounds funny. Are you teaching empathy to teens or Social problem solving ? This Digital Deck will help teach your students one of the hardest lessons; when is it, and when isn’t it appropriate to laugh. This deck teaches the technique in steps. Your students will receive 20 digital cards (7 instructional cards, 10 multiple choice and 2 shift and see cards) There are 12 separate situations that require the student to determine the appropriateness of laughing. I would suggest running the deck as a group lesson and then assigning for HW to assess the skill. Some basic interference skills are required. The cards work well with older students (Grades 6- 10) or best when used with students who have mild-moderate cognitive delays yet good language skills. If you are using it as a teaching tool during instruction the lesson can easily fill thirty minutes with breaks in between for group discussion. When I use this lesson with my Social Skills classroom it takes 35-45 minutes. For the accompanying worksheet look for the PRINTIE with teh same title in my store ( Should I laugh Printie )
