Body Language & Emotions Speech Therapy Social Skills Worksheets + Boom™ Cards

Help your students understand SOCIAL SITUATIONS by using NONVERBAL COMMUNICATION to determine HOW PEOPLE FEEL and what they may be thinking. Teach students how to interpret non-verbal communication such as FACIAL EXPRESSIONS and other BODY LANGUAGE cues in order to figure out the emotions and thoughts of others.

① First, use the MINI-LESSON to teach (or review) 6 components of non-verbal communication, such as facial expressions, gestures, and posture. You'll also get bright, colorful VISUALS for various emotions at 2 different levels (with and without pictures) to familiarize students with a wide range of EMOTIONS VOCABULARY.
