Description
Teach whole body listening with clear visuals and simple choices that show what listening looks like in small groups. Help students learn whole body listening with these Boom™ Cards social stories and interactive visuals designed for small group instruction and early learners. This resource teaches small group expectations by showing what it looks like to listen with your brain and body during group activities. Using a simple acronym FOCUS, students learn how to face the group, use calm bodies, listen to the teacher, and stay engaged using clear visuals and simple language. These whole body listening visuals and activities are ideal for kindergarten social emotional lessons, autism classrooms, ABA sessions, social skills groups, and SEL instruction. Includes: • 2 listening to the teacher social stories (simple rhyming + more descriptive version) • Interactive slides for identifying whole body listening behaviors • Choice-based activities (e.g., “Who is facing the group?” “Who is using their brain?”) • Visual discrimination practice with two-picture choices • Clear visuals and limited language for early learners Students practice recognizing small group expectations and whole body listening during common classroom situations like circle time, table work, and teacher-led instruction. These social emotional learning activities for autism help students build attention, engagement, and positive group participation in a supportive, concrete way.
