Conversation Skills Phone Text Messages

Your students will beg you to work on conversational skills with these super motivating cell phone theme cards! Perfect for your social skills groups!

Your students will beg you to work on conversational skills with these super motivating cell phone theme cards! You’ll get 95 text message conversation cards targeting conversational turn taking, topic maintenance, making comments, asking questions, safety, and initiation. Perfect for your social skills groups!

We all know our students love their phones (or their parents’ phones!). Play into their interests for an engaging and motivating session.

You can print and laminate for a lifelong tool ready whenever you want to work on social skills and conversation with your kids! No time to print? Just pull them up on your screen and don’t worry about printing.

Here’s what’s inside:

  • 95 text message cards
  • 1 sorting visual
  • 8 blank cell phone cards
  • 8 screen shatter foil cards
  • 1 card deck cover

Each comment or question looks like it is a text message from a specific person (mom, dad, friend, classmate, etc.). The sorting visual challenges your students to identify why their response was appropriate.

Great for social skill or pragmatics goals! These cards open up great discussion about appropriate texting and how our responses might change based on context. You can even use these as conversation starters with your fluency, articulation carryover, and grammar students as well!

Here’s some reasons why other SLPs have loved these conversation skill phones:

♥ ”This resource is such a cute way to target conversation skills in a way that the kids enjoy. They find it fun to pretend they are sending texts back and forth which keeps the practice interesting. It’s always tricky to practice conversation skills without same age peers, so this is definitely an option for building the skill before moving to real time interactions.” – Alysha C.

♥ ”Wow!!! What a great and fun activity!! Kiddos love ‘texting’ replies to the sender. I have printed on card stock and they’ll hold as if it’s a cellphone and pretend to text back. The scenarios are fun and appropriate for therapy. I’m able to use this for reading as an activity to target articulation sounds as well and inferencing goals.” – Ashley V.

♥ ”This is a great resource for late elementary students. I have one student in particular that really enjoys this activity. Even after a year, he still asks to use this material during our speech sessions. I appreciate that this resource includes different target individuals (e.g., student, friend, parent, teacher) as this influences appropriate pragmatic responses. Also, I have used the “What Should I Say Next” visual many times for other pragmatic therapy. What a great resource!” – Eilish S.

  52. Raelynne L. –

    Fun! The 4th graders at my school are obsessed with cell phones-this is a fun way to pretend to text!

  53. Tiffany J. –

    My middle schoolers love this game! We’re building meta awareness of what makes a response appropriate or not by having the kids evaluate the responses of the students to their left and suggest alternative responses. A fun way to expand this: some of the “texts” can elicit different responses based on context. For example, for “Best Friend: Do you like my painting?” I’ll say, “Your best friend made a tremendously ugly painting for the school art show, but you don’t want to hurt his feelings. What do you text back?” vs. “Your friend made a painting that you love. What do you text back?”

  54. Carlye M. –

    I am looking forward to using this with a group of high school students in a social language skills activity. Planning to add emojis/emoticons to change the meaning of the text message. Thanks for a fun activity!

    Great item! The iPhone figure really adds an authentic quality to this item. It encourages kiddos to respond and gives it a real-world communication quality. I like the component of “responding” option because sometimes my kiddos want to respond and THEN provide a relevant question/comment. This is real conversation so its great! Thanks for a great product!

  117. Elsie K. –

    Very clever! I love them! I used them with my group of stutters as well as my students who are working on pragmatics! The ones that “come” from an “unknown caller ” began a good conversation about what to do if that ever happens to them; when they get personal questions from a stranger. I love the variety of questions and people who are asking the questions. You did a wonderful job!

  199. Kristine K. –

    Nice product, and I feel like students are more interested since it’s presented in a texting format. The only thing I would suggest: add numbers to the cards. I know that when I’m using TPT or any flash card sort of item, I record which ones I completed with the student to avoid repeating during the next session. Otherwise, great product!

    Can’t wait to use this product!

    Thanks for creating a great resource!

  239. Katherine Voytkiv –

    My students love these! I love giving my students different situations to go with the conversation card and see how their answers change based on the situation provided. Great Resource

  240. Rebecca Aldrich Hansen –

    Nice resource. Very cute, and modern with the cell phone idea. What student wouldn’t want to read a text message and respond? Great activity for encouraging natural, social language.

  241. Benjamin J. –

    Great resource! I created a wall of possible generic responses that the students could use as a starting point. I wish this resource had that but for the price, it is a great language/writing activity.

  242. Kelly W. –

    Cool way to target conversation for Middle Schooler.

  243. Just Speechin Around –

    Awesome resource!

  246. Debby S. –

    What a great idea! Students love this!

  247. Rita T. –

    Love the choice: answer the question, ask a question, or make a comment…Really simplifes how to respond instead of asking them to do more than they may be ready for.

  248. Allison V. –

    I love that these look like text messages. Great way to make it relevant to their lives (as sad as that is!). I also like that there are blank ones that I can fill out for an individual student. Can’t wait to use them!

  256. AT for the SLP –

    This was a great download. I’m an SLP grad student and I used with with a 10 y/o client. He LOVED it. I was really happy to hear him say that he wanted to do the activity again. Thankful there were so many phones because I can keep this going in session for a few more times!

    Fun and current/popular themed activity to use with my students with voice output devices as well as my students who need social skill building.

  289. Danielle G. –

    Very cute activity

  290. Jennifer H. –

    I have been using these with my middle school students. They work harder on this task than any other task I have given them! We use this for answering questions, asking questions, and pragmatic skills. I have group them together into sets of 10 so that we are never doing the same ones over and over. They don’t even mind doing the same thing a few weeks in a row! Thank you so much for this creative idea!

  291. Deborah S. –

    AWESOME!

  292. I’ve Got Problems –

    Thanks

  293. Erin M. –

    These are an excellent resource for my 5th graders working on social skills and how to respond appropriately to others! Age-appropriate, and they love it! I keep hearing how “cool” this game is!

    I have several students working on conversational skills. This a really neat way to work on that.

  295. Angela C. –

    My older students love these!

  324. Ann R. –

    Used this as part of a Digital Citizenship unit.

  325. Dennette V. –

    Something so simple as seeing an “iphone screen” is just so enticing to the kids. This is a great addition for my social skills groups.

  326. Danielle K. –

    My high school students like these because they identify with text messages!

  327. Kristen T. –

    Fun to use. I added in some texts about what colonial people may have said in text message because that is what my students were studying at that time.

  328. Lindsey S. –

    Easy product to just pick up and go when you don’t have a whole lot of planning time!! Can use for multiple targets!!

  332. Lori F. –

    Great resource!

  333. Annette B. –

    A fun way to work on those skills.

  334. Jessica D. –

    Such a valuable resource especially when working with older children – the idea of texts instantly gets the children to engage and has made it really easy to target multiple things in therapy. Really enjoy that there is the option to write your own. My kiddies love this! Thank you

  335. Tara S. –

    I have a few social groups right now working on how to maintain a conversation, stay on topic, etc. I think these conversation phones can be really versatile and I’m excited to use them in my groups!

    So many examples of real situations that might occur.

  337. Teacher Lydy –

    My EFL class loved responding to these text messages

    A great resource to use when addressing pragmatic/social skills! Love the variety of scenarios!

  341. Ashley B. –

    Great resource!

  342. Simply Fabulous Speech –

    This is exactly what I needed for my middle school young lady. We actually use this as a model and then use my cell phone to send fake texts (sent to my cell number) so that she can practice her conversations. 100% on her level and age appropriate as well. Thank you for this!

  343. Tara K. –

    Great for older students

  344. Melissa C. –

    love these! so applicable to students

  345. Samantha G. –

    Use this a lot! Thanks!

  367. Annette H. –

    So motivating!!

    Thank you.

  374. Rebecca S. –

    Great way to make therapy/therapy goals apply to everyday life!

  375. Criss-Cross Awesome Sauce –

    Very creative way to target a variety of social skills. My students love these — both in a game format and when used as a starting point for further situations or activities.
    One example — one of my students was working on decision trees for “expected” and “unexpected” responses, so we’d flip a card and give both types of answers.

  376. Megan G. –

    Fun in therapy!

  377. Katelyn K. –

    Fun for activity for kids working on social skills!

  378. Rosanna J. –

    fun and engaging..thank you!

  379. Brianne L. –

    Another great resource that engages middle school students!

  380. Maureen W. –

    My older students love these!

  381. Vanessa H. –

    Really helpful for my older students!

  382. Sydney S. –

    Perfect for older students!

  383. Brittney P. –

    This works well for my students working on reciprocating conversations

  384. Gabriella G. –

    Fun for my middle school social groups

  385. Kelly H. –

    A couple datasheets would have made this a stronger product, but it’s quick and easy for engaging my middle schoolers. We use it for perspective-taking (how are they feeling –> what response are they probably hoping for) and appropriate tone in text messages.

  386. Heather W. –

    Great product!

  387. Candida K. –

    Simple and appropriate for older students

  388. Victoria S. –

    Great resource – the kids love it!

  389. Andrea G –

    Very motivating. I enjoy using the The “What should I say next” mat for my more literal thinkers to choose a next step. The idea of filling in a speech bubble or text bubble has been helpful in motivating and giving structure to children who don’t always respond in conversation.

  390. Bridget C. –

    I love this resource! Easy to use- especially with my older students!

  391. Estee SLP –

    My students were thrilled to be working on”texting.”

  392. Jocelyn M. –

    Clever way to engage your students! 10/10

  393. marilyn M. –

    Good for my older students

  394. Shared Joy Speech and Language –

    When you can’t beat them, join them 😉 Just kidding but really, getting to provide a phone activity for the upper grades students is so fun since they’re used to adults being the ones bashing technology. Very motivating/ engaging! Plus it’s neat when they take a step back and analyze why they say what they say how much their awareness/ more nuanced communication skills can grow!

  395. Cristina A. –

    Good resource.

  396. Ashley B. –

    Great resource to use with my small group special education students. Amazing product. Thank you!

  397. Heather E. –

    Great resource for working on inferencing, predicting and pragmatics in a fun and engaging way. Opens the door to talk about so many things like how important tone of voice is and if you can’t hear that, how messages can be misinterpreted.

  398. Brenna C. –

    I love this resource! I can use it for social skills groups, but also for inferencing, changing tone/manner of responses, and even fluency students.

  399. Jennifer C. –

    Thank you!

  400. Maura G. –

    I just used this with a student and they had so much fun with this resource. I love how versatile you can make this!

    such as easy grab and go activity! I use it as an exit ticket, or warm up activity

  404. Marti F. –

    Fun for the students

  405. Erica F. –

    Real world lingo and appropriate topics!

  406. Jackie Gladieux –

    I am excited to use this with my students! I love that they look like text messages!

  407. Rachel Z. –

    Great resource!

  408. Janine Y. –

    fun and different – very relative for my older students

  409. Charmaine M. –

    A great game that goes down well with clients. There has been some confusion lately over whether they have said the phrase or are replying to the phrase (as the graphics are the wrong way around), but this is not a big problem.

  410. Kelly S. –

    Great resource! Would recommend!

  411. Amy R. –

    Timely and relevant!

  412. Yesha R. –

    I love using this with my older students who are working on pragmatic skills. It’s relevant for their age group and it keeps them interested!

  413. Redhead SLP –

    These are great for my middle school students to practice conversation skills in a functional way!

  414. Erica M. –

    Resource was engaging and simple to use.

  415. Linda D. –

    Fantastic way to engage my kids with ASD who have difficulty starting conversations and keeping conversations going

  416. Sherly K. –

    Great product!

  417. Erica S. –

    So relatable! Cute idea. thank you!

  418. Adept AAC –

    great resource in an engaging format!

  419. Judith M. –

    Is learning what would be appropriate to text a needed skill? Absolutely!

  420. Speech For The Starz –

    A great resource to use with individuals, small groups, or even push-in classroom sessions for older students with social skills goals!

  421. Emily I. –

    I love this resource! The students loved it and it targeted so many different language goals. I really recommend this resource.

  422. Collette R. –

    This was an excellent resources when teaching about appropriate texting. It was very effective for my young adult learners who have disabilites.

  423. Talking Tails –

    This is a great visual for my kids on how to keep a conversation going! I love it so much and wish I would’ve found it sooner (before we went online!) Thank you!!

  424. Ronda L. –

    All things good come from Speech Musings!

  425. Jamie P. –

    My students love practicing conversation skills with these phones! Highly motivating!

  426. Breanna H. –

    My student’s loved these social cards! Easy to ready and super relevant to the times.

  427. Simmons’ Special Shop –

    My students enjoyed this activity and how it related to their everyday lives!

  428. Katrina B. –

    I am always looking for more social skills materials. This is good for working on conversational skills.

  429. Simply Language –

    My students enjoyed using this during our social skills lessons. Many different options and in a format they get: text message!

  430. Pip S. –

    My students loved the engaging format

  431. Jori E. –

    Fun activity! Did not work great for my kiddos, to complex/difficult, but very cute concept overall!

  432. Hollie P. –

    Wonderful for children on the autism spectrum!

  433. Annette P. –

    I am always trying to find engaging tasks for a teenage selective mute student and I have seen for a long time. This was very motivating.

  434. Sandi Connors SLP –

    My upper el speech students really enjoyed this. Thank you!

  435. Jessica T. –

    good

  436. Linda B. –

    A wonderful activity for my older students. Sometimes we use the Texting Story app. It takes us a bit off task, but makes the texting more realistic.

  437. Carly J. –

    I love using this when working on social skills. The students like using them in a group and then we can discuss the different responses everyone used. Can be used with different ages, love how there are options for older students too. If you are using with younger children I suggest picking the most appropriate for your student. Love this resource, thank you!

  438. Mallard-SLP –

    I love how I can adapt this material. I purchased it to work on responding in social situations, and I enjoyed the variety of comments/questions that are on the phones. On top of that, each text is sent from a specific person which can help me work on adjusting our responses based on the audience involved. I also plan to use this for inferencing, such as asking kids who would send you something like that? Great price and a great resource.

  439. Carolyn G. –

    This resource made for a relatable and ‘cool’ conversational skills activity that really engaged my older kids.

  440. Michala R –

    This is such an appropriate resource with students these days. Many of my students have their own phones so this specific activity allows me to target pragmatics while making it relatable to the students’ lives.

  441. Denise H. –

    My students love these materials… fun and engaging! Will be using these materials while distance learning.

  442. Rose M. –

    Great activity for children with ASD

  443. Joann L. –

    This resource is no prep, engaging and relevant to students!

  444. PuzzledPeg –

    I am a BCBA and work with clients on the Autism spectrum. This is the one resource that I used over and over again with the kiddos that I work with. Thank you!

  445. Kate S. –

    Great resources for social Life Skills

  446. Emily D. –

    This resources comes with soooooo many text conversations. I used this same resources across multiple sessions and it lead to some great questions from my students.

  447. Leighlany V. –

    This was a fun way to target conversation skills.

  448. Nicole B. –

    great

  449. Speech Spot Co –

    amazing.

  450. VVVega –

    Fun Resource

  451. Amy T. –

    This worked really well for my student with high functioning autism and intellectual disability. She does a lot of texting with her friends (she’s in high school) and so it led to some great conversations about the pragmatics of texting.

  452. Candace L. –

    I loved using this with older kiddos! Great way to work on conversation skills. They never want to talk to me much, but kids are always texting friends and family! Would definitely recommend using this 🙂

  453. Bilingual Speech and Language –

    My students were able to relate to the text messaging format. Loved it!

  454. Kayla Megan –

    Very engaging and relevant resource!

  455. Sandy Nouneh –

    Great resource!

  456. Melissa H. –

    Great resource for students who need to begin carryover.

  457. Chelsea L. –

    My students love this resource! So fun and motivating. Great real life examples!

  458. ASHLEY V. –

    Wow!!! What a great and fun activity!! Kiddos love ‘texting’ replies to the sender. I have printed on card stock and they’ll hold as if it’s a cellphone and pretend to text back. The scenarios are fun and appropriate for therapy. I’m able to use this for reading as an activity to target articulation sounds as well and inferencing goals.

  459. The Language Lighthouse –

    Fun resource to work on appropriate conversational skills. The kids love the visuals of the phone, makes it seem more relatable I think! The prompts are also great. This prompt always creates great conversation!

  460. Alysha W. –

    This resource is such a cute way to target conversation skills in a way that the kids enjoy. They find it fun to pretend they are sending texts back and forth which keeps the practice interesting. It’s always tricky to practice conversation skills without same age peers, so this is definitely an option for building the skill before moving to real time interactions.

  461. Amy B. –

    Great resource to compliment worksheet activities.

  462. Bernadette M. –

    I liked the phone conversation theme. My only wish was that it had a BOOM card.

  463. Mikayla C. –

    This is great for older students who need to develop skill skills and language.

  464. Laura G. –

    Great way for my students to enhance their conversational skills. They love how the activity looks like a real phone and that they are texting their friends.

  465. Nicole M. –

    Great way to help with pragmatics during a time that we don’t have many social interactions in person!

  466. zaneta L. –

    Great resource!

  467. Buyer W. –

    Great resource. Thanks!

  468. FAME Speech and Myo –

    Thank you for creating a great resource!

  469. Estee D. –

    This is a fantastic resource for my middle school learners. It is a high-interest activity AND I can target so many skills at one time. Thanks.

  470. April S. –

    My students loved this!

  471. Kayleigh S. –

    This is such a cute idea! My students were really enslaved and loved using their “phone”.

  472. Brianna B. –

    My students were motivated more by this design of conversation starting/continuing cards than others, and allowed for quick practice of skills to start group, or to allow for game like atmosphere with students pulling from a pile and engaging with others/discussing responses together

  473. Speech Lagniappe –

    Wonderful!

  474. Lauren Johnson –

    Used these to decorate our door for Red ribbon week, very useful.

    Excellent resource!

  480. Nicole L. –

    Students love this! Anything to do with technology wins with them.

  481. Eilish S. –

    This is a great resource for late elementary students. I have one student in particular that really enjoys this activity. Even after a year, he still asks to use this material during our speech sessions. I appreciate that this resource includes different target individuals (e.g., student, friend, parent, teacher) as this influences appropriate pragmatic responses. Also, I have used the “What Should I Say Next” visual many times for other pragmatic therapy. What a great resource!

  482. Elise B. –

    This was a wonderful and engaging resource! Thank you.

  483. Alana M. –

    great for students of all ages with social goals thanks!

    Thank You!

  498. Lauren M. –

    Loved this for my young teens.

  499. Lisa J. –

    I like the cell phone motif and students found this activity engaging.

  500. Laura L. –

    Although this game was a lot of work to make, my students are really engaged with the idea of cell phones and text messages. The addition of the cracked screens makes it feel very game-like to them. The game provides a nice way to talk about conversational skills where you can sit and think through responses without it feeling so artificial they won’t ever be able to apply it to real life.

  501. Brittani N. –

    I had a student who was working on texting – composing/replying to messages (as they had just gotten a phone for their birthday) and we used these as flashcards to work through these texts hypothetically. I liked that we were able to use different people/scenarios and not just basic texts like “hi” or “what’s up”. I highly recommend these!

  502. Jill E. –

    Some of my students really loved the idea of working on ‘texts’:)

  503. Puddle Jumpers Literacy –

    It’s a great idea and has some really useful text ideas. I particularly liked how you knew who the text came from and it would change the response. However I would like to think of ways to make it more engaging, maybe using a game board. Also one of my students noted that the text responses are the wrong colour – they should be blue and the receiving text should be grey!

  504. Jamie A. –

    Great for back to school! Easy to prep. Thanks for your work!

  505. Shyla H. –

    Used for my first session and went great!! Client enjoyed the activity and mom was impressed with it as well. Was a great activity for the first session! We had fun figuring out the best responses and why/not.

  506. Emily W. –

    Super engaging and can be easily modified!

  507. SARAH H. –

  520. Meghan S. –

    This is a great resource to use with my student’s. Thank you!

  521. Natalie M. –

    I bought this specifically to use with one client who has a challenging time interacting in conversations. We use this as a warm up with the goal, “we are responding in a way to receive a text back.” It has been very helpful in practicing meaningful responses.

  522. Jamie H. –

    This resource is great and the students enjoyed making conversations based on the phone messages.

    Perfect activity to work on conversation skills in a fun way

  546. Ann M. –

    It is difficult to find engaging activities for my HS students struggling with language. Look no further! This is the activity that all of my HS students found engaging because they could relate to anything with cell phones:). A must have resource especially with older students.

    This resource has been a game-changer in my special education and ABA sessions! It’s clear, easy to implement, and aligns beautifully with evidence-based practices. The visuals are engaging, and the structure supports both individualized instruction and group learning. I especially appreciate how it breaks down skills into manageable steps, which is so important for our students. My learners stayed motivated, and I was able to collect data effortlessly. Highly recommend to any special educator or ABA therapist looking to add effective and meaningful tools to their toolkit!

  551. Michelle S. –

  557. Rachel G. –

    Another great resource to add to my collection as I start my CF in a K – 12 building. This is a great resource, especially with all the technology today. I think it will be very helpful for children to practice and use appropriate phone etiquette, whether it’s texting or actually talking on the phone.

  558. Amy B. –

    This is a fun resource and one older elementary/middle school kids can relate to

  559. Monica R. –

    Great grab and go for social groups

    I have enjoyed using this resource when I need something quick to grab as my group is arriving.

  561. SofloSLPA –

    So fun! Use this all the time!

    There are so many cards! It took some time to laminate and cut them all but I use these ALL THE TIME. Totally worth it!!! It is so versatile I use them by themselves, with games like Jenga, or movement activities!

  562. Aubrie A. –

    Great for social skills work!

    This is a great resource to use when working on social skills! It is easy to grab and incorporate into any game/ activity.

  563. Alicia V. –

    a skill worth explicitly teaching!

    I originally purchased this for my son who has trouble knowing what to do in social interactions. However, I’ve now carried it over into my classroom as I’ve discovered more and more students having difficulty with social interactions as device usage increases. Sometimes we assume kids will just know what to do in any given social interaction, but this skill requires explicit instruction, too! I appreciate how this resource is taught in text message format, since this is the main way of communicate nowadays.

  564. Catherine and Co –

    great activity

    Great resource! Easy to use, well organized, and my students were engaged.

  565. Speech Fun with Ms Em –

    Well created resource

  567. Maggie D. –

    Great for Middle schoolers

    I used this with my middle schoolers and they had a blast coming up with responses!

  569. Kristin R. –

    A high interest activity for my students

    My students are thrilled to participate when they see the texting theme. Super functional.
