I hope you’ve been enjoying your summer as much as this SLP has!
Besides getting plenty of rest, enjoying many cups of coffee catching up with friends, visiting farmer’s markets, trips to Amish Country (in Ohio) and working on the house, we also returned from Disney World. I highly recommend it to release the inner “kid” in you =).
Here’s the family the first night grabbing a bite to eat….
My husband was SUPER excited when he found a Lego store. Everything (including the Hulk) was made completely out of Legos.
It was a great break and vacation!
On the looooong trip down to Florida, I was able to work on a long-awaited product:
I don’t know about you, but I’ve begun to dread laminating. Just the thought of printing, cutting, laminating, and more cutting is enough to send me over the edge during my busy school months.
That’s why I love my No Print Collection! Simply open it up on any computer or iPad and it’s ready to go! No printing, no cutting, no fuss!
In this huge 155 page pack, you receive:
*25 How Would You Feel cards
*25 How Would They Feel cards
*25 Show Me the Emotion cards
*25 Interpreting Idioms/Proverbs cards
*25 Name the Problem/Solution cards
*25 Being Polite/Manners cards
*25 How Would You Feel cards
*25 How Would They Feel cards
*25 Show Me the Emotion cards
*25 Interpreting Idioms/Proverbs cards
*25 Name the Problem/Solution cards
*25 Being Polite/Manners cards
Each pack contains 5 “Bummer” cards mixed in to create an easy game.
This has been on my to-do list for a while! Now it can finally join the collection of other No-Print activities. To win a copy for yourself, enter the rafflecopter below =)
Come as you are. Leave encouraged.
I'd love for you to join my newsletter family so that I can start sending weekly encouragement as well as access to an entire library of free resources like this Student Self-Progress Report Sheet!

July 16, 2013 at 2:12 pmThis is great Nicole! I love to work on social skills at lunch. It seems to be such a hard thing for kiddos with pragmatics difficulties.

July 22, 2013 at 8:52 pmWorking on social skills during lunch is great-it’s my goal this year!
Cindy L Meester says
July 16, 2013 at 2:16 pmLove no print. I download all items from TPT to iBooks and use most on there instead of printing.
I use lots of ideas from Michelle Garcia Winner’s books and workshops for social thinking.
Julie Graham says
July 16, 2013 at 2:33 pmSocial skills are hard to work with. I don’t know if I have a favorite way of working with them. I try to use books or in class group projects.
Anne says
July 16, 2013 at 2:34 pmI like to use kids’ favorite picture books to target pragmatics…Diary of a Wimpy Kid is great for my older elementary students to use to identify emotions! Lunch time lessons are also great.
Nicole Allison says
July 22, 2013 at 8:52 pmMy kids love Diary of a Wimpy Kid…great idea!

July 16, 2013 at 2:41 pmI love MGW concepts and products for working on social skills. I also have some TPT products that are perfect for small groups.
Carissa says
July 16, 2013 at 2:47 pmLove this new product! Great job! I love working on social skills through storybooks and games. We use stories that have social themes, and we always play a game where they have to use turn-taking strategies!

July 16, 2013 at 2:50 pmLove this! I like teaching/practicing skills in my room, then pushing in the classroom during normal routines to help with carryover and problem solving.

July 22, 2013 at 8:53 pmYou’re so good at being in the classroom…it’s one of my goals to do better at this next year.
Nicole says
July 16, 2013 at 2:57 pmThanks so much for this product! As a therapist in a private practice, we tend to have language groups, so kiddos can work on social skills in a group setting. These are tricky to schedule, but are very successful when we can pull it off. Thanks!
Nicole Allison says
July 22, 2013 at 8:54 pmThat’s great that you work on these skills even at your private practice!
mary says
July 16, 2013 at 3:40 pmI LOVE the no-print stuff! I like to work on social skills in group settings using role-play and video modeling. Carryover can be really tough, but these skills are really fun to work on!
Kim R says
July 16, 2013 at 3:48 pmI love the no print packs! Adding a social skills packet makes working on these so much easier! Thank you!
ShannanW says
July 16, 2013 at 4:11 pmThis looks like a great addition to your other no print packs! I address social skills with games like Sorry (can address turn-taking, chance/luck, perspective) and books with specific social themes. I also have used parts of Michelle Garcia Winner’s social thinking like Super Flex and Rock Brain.

July 16, 2013 at 4:26 pmI most often work in-class to teach social skills. Catch ’em in the moment!
Brittany Messerlie says
July 16, 2013 at 6:34 pmI am so glad that you have made a no print activity! I have been cutting and laminating all summer long! I know it will be worth it but sometimes it makes me cringe to think of the next activity I need to prepare. I will have to check this out:)
Shannon Giles says
July 16, 2013 at 6:51 pmI try to get out on the playground or in the cafeteria during lunch.

July 16, 2013 at 7:34 pmI used your social language skills pack all spring! Your idiom bingo was something my students and I discussed for at least two months. My ELL’s need so much work learning how to be American!

KD says
July 16, 2013 at 11:48 pmWe work on social skills with role play and charades. I am always a little surprised when my students only know three emotions: happy, mad, sad. Nothing beats role playing to gain understanding of more subtle emotions!
Nicole Allison says
July 22, 2013 at 8:55 pmMy students are the same…they know only 3 emotions! Role-playing is great!
ChildMine SLPA says
July 16, 2013 at 11:55 pmMy favorite way is with a game!
Alana Vickery says
July 17, 2013 at 12:34 amGreat materials! I love to teach social skills by targeting the underlying skill of perspective taking. I also teach the reasons why the social skills are important. Otherwise there is no motivation to do it!
Denise C says
July 17, 2013 at 1:16 amLove your No Print activities ~ keep them coming! 🙂 I like working on social skills through games.
Shelby says
July 17, 2013 at 1:38 amLove teaching social skills – with games and they are usually laminated! It’s been exhausting! Doing lots of stuff for ESY right now and hopefully will be a first year teacher in august! woohoo! This would be sooo helpful!
Andrea L says
July 17, 2013 at 2:19 amI would love to try out a new no print activity next year!

July 17, 2013 at 2:21 amThis looks awesome, Nicole! I usually work on social skills through role playing activities. 🙂

July 17, 2013 at 3:43 pmI would love this. I’ve been wanting to try one of your no print packs. I have to work with my JH group over their lunch, which I don’t necessarily like because it’s not very natural to just sit at a table and talk.
Sharon says
July 17, 2013 at 7:27 pmWhen practicing social skills role playing is one of my favorite things to do. Using the video on the ipad is a great way to watch, pause and discuss the skills being practiced!
danae says
July 17, 2013 at 8:47 pmI love using roll playing
Alison SLP :) says
July 19, 2013 at 5:10 amI like to use books to talk about social skills but I also get a lot of (sometimes unexpected) opportunities to address social skills with my reinforcer games haha!
teridiane says
July 19, 2013 at 8:55 pmI love to write social stories with my students 🙂
Carly says
July 22, 2013 at 2:03 amGames are such a natural way to teach social skills.
Sharon Schackmann says
July 22, 2013 at 7:58 pmI love using real life situations, such as during lunch time or at recess to teach social skills!
Nicole Allison says
July 22, 2013 at 8:55 pmOoo…I would love to get out there during recess-great idea!
ksaff says
July 22, 2013 at 8:08 pmThis looks like such a great activity! I like using the Social Thinking curriculum and also books, apps, and incidental teaching. Recess is a great time to check on/work on social skills!
Heather says
July 22, 2013 at 8:23 pmGames and on the spot treatment
Speechercize and Gluten Free says
July 22, 2013 at 8:30 pmi have some idiom cards i can allow the student to color, the images are great at helping the student understand and remember. I also created a Sorry for Social Skills Game based on the game Sorry where the cards have scenarios to discuss.
Nicole Allison says
July 22, 2013 at 8:56 pmWhat a great idea! I would love to see your game!
Jenni Lund says
July 22, 2013 at 8:34 pmI do a lot of video modeling.

July 22, 2013 at 10:19 pmThis is a Great activity! I love the NO Print!! That is such a wonderful idea! My favorite way to teach social skills is a group session with a game that requires the students to work together, not against each other.
Tracy Morlan says
July 22, 2013 at 10:31 pmLove the no print idea! My fave way to work on social skills is role-playing.
