Conversation Hearts

It's always fun to incorporate the current holiday into lessons.  In this Valentine's Day activity I tied in social skills topics with conversation hearts.  Feel free to use this sheet with your students that need a little extra practice in the manners department.

If the students are having difficulty decoding the messages, then have them earn letter hints by answering questions.  Playing hangman is also an exciting option.

I use activity sheets like this as a source for conversation starters.  In this one page you can address the following social skills:

• Giving gifts
• Receiving gifts
• Not being included
• Saying please and thank you
• Appropriate signs of affection (friends vs. family members)
• Recognizing feelings
• Taking turns/waiting your turn
