Description: Build functional conversation skills in speech therapy with these structured Boom Cards that focus on social communication with friends and family. 🏡 Real photos, relatable situations, and strong visual supports help students practice continuing conversations in meaningful, everyday contexts. 🗣️ Each card presents a real-life social scenario with a relative or friend. Students use context to determine a verbal response using simple choices such as "Thank you," "Great," and "Yes please." Each of the 35 social scenarios includes... 📸 A real photograph of a friend or family member (such as a grandparent, cousin, or parent) 📝 A brief description of the situation and what the person is saying 💬 4 response choices, each with text and a supportive symbol for students who benefit from reading or visual cues This versatile social language activity supports a wide range of ages and skill levels and is easy to adapt based on student needs. Modify or extend any card by: 🙈 Hiding answer choices by using the movable covers and eliciting a novel response 🎭 Role-playing the interaction by adding conversational turns before or after the exchange 🧠 Targeting perspective-taking and inferencing by discussing how different responses might make others feel Real-life visuals and functional language targets make this Boom Card activity relevant, engaging, and practical. Students of all ages can use it to address social language goals in everyday interactions with friends and family.
