Christmas Conversation Prompt Task Cards Social Skills

(0)
Christmas themed conversation prompt cards to encourage your students to work on their communication, social and conversation skills in a fun and engaging way this Christmas. This resource includes 72 different prompt cards to help and encourage students to make conversation. Conversation is a hard skill for our students to master, especially when trying to start one. These prompt cards help to break the ice and encourage your students to feel more supported and confident when starting a conversation. A conversation helps to build relationships between students or even staff. It's also a great way for you to find out more about your students in class - especially if you have many shy students who usually struggle to keep a conversation flowing. The cards are bright and fun to keep students engaged throughout the activity. The prompt cards come in b/w and col. option as well as with UK and US spelling options. These are fantastic for prompting students to start conversations with each other, especially for morning work, social skills groups etc.
