Description: This Valentine’s Day deck is an interactive speech therapy activity designed to target having conversations by helping students respond with comments and questions. The fun holiday theme keeps students engaged while they practice an essential social language skill. The deck includes 12 realistic, two-part social scenarios: 💚 Part 1: Students view a short exchange between two people and select the most appropriate brief response from three candy-heart choices. 💬 Part 2: Students continue the conversation by identifying a longer comment or question. Together, these two steps guide students from recognizing an appropriate response to actively contributing to a conversation. The structured progression helps students practice conversational turn-taking in a supportive way while still allowing for open-ended language and discussion. 🤝 Cut back on planning and prep by using one versatile activity across your caseload.
