When you’re working on conversation skills in speech therapy, it can be hard to keep things natural.
There’s nothing better than finding that “just right” motivating topic to target your students goals! When I came up with the idea of conversation cell phones! Cell phones are very motivating for some of my students and this idea worked like a charm! I recently redid the graphics on this product, and added some new scenario cards and thought I’d share about it!
I came up with this product 3 YEARS AGO, which absolutely blows my mind! I can’t believe I’ve been blogging and creating materials for that long!
Included in this product is…
-95 text message cards
-1 card deck cover card
-8 blank cards for you to customize! I like to laminate these and write text messages using a dry erase marker.
-1 sorting visual
-8 screen shattered foil cards, in case you want to make this a game.
This cell phone themed packet is a fun way to target conversational skills including topic maintenance, making comments, asking questions, safety, and initiation.
Are you ready to target these conversation skills in speech therapy?

I love this idea!
This would be perfect for my client!
very cute!!
Love this idea! So cute and motivational!
What a great idea! I could see my students having so much fun with these!
What a clever and functional activity!
I think this would be a great activity for my high school students working on social skills, fluency and grammar.
This looks like a great product! I love all your products and ideas, they are so inspiring and motivating! Thanks as always for all of your helpful information.
Love this idea! Kids will definitely enjoy it!
Love this product!

Would love to add this to my toolbox!

My students would love this! They all seem to want their own cell phones, no matter how young they are.
This would be the greatest game for kids with social language goals!!
I have been using a TpT product that is more advanced for an older student and it has so many applications. I can teach message intent, perspective, emotion vocabulary, and apply the emotion evoked to the 5 point scale as well as many other skills. This product would be great for younger students because it has similar value!!
You are right on target with these, Shannon! I have middle school social groups who are totally intrigued with cell phones, and even though they’re just printed ones on cardstock, it doesn’t matter to them…it’s the “thought” that counts… I think they feel like it’s a more “mature” activity if it looks like a phone. I have Mia McDaniel’s “Reading & Responding, Interpreting Language & More” and those kids will gladly play that without a problem, but will nearly refuse if it’s “just a card game” without the cellphone graphics! I think they would love these too and would serve a different purpose, with other objectives in mind. Great idea!
I can’t tell you how motivating language games on a cell phone graphic are for my older elementary students. They LOVE it and many site there “texting” their responses while waiting for their next turn.
These would be great for my older students who are working on social skills!
Such a cute idea. Also love your speech sample post!
Love it now that even middle schoolers have cell phones!
I love this!
So simple yet so motivating for those higher-functioning students that can really benefit from explicit social skills instruction!
I would love this for my middle schoolers!!! Doesn’t matter if they are gen. ed. or sped….every one of them could use these.
I wish I worked with older students. Maybe I can get my PreK and Kinders to use them since they all love their parents’ phones! I have some old phones that I can use. Great idea!
I have several students who would enjoy this activity and get a lot out of it.
Great idea, kids love cell phones.
I’m a new SLP and think this product would be amazing to start my collection! Could be used with so many students. Love your website!!
I just tried to create this on the fly on Tuesday. I love this!
Would 3-5 grade enjoy this?
Yes! That’s the age range I originally used it with! 🙂
