Bring structure and engagement to every session with Question of the Day: Conversation Cards with Visual Supports. Perfect for warm-ups, routines, and social communication goals, this resource gives you ready-to-use prompts that spark conversation and keep students talking.
This set includes 150 conversation prompts across 30 themes with built-in visual supports for students of all levels. Each question is designed to encourage participation, build social communication skills, and provide consistent routines.
With multiple formats (printable, Google Slides™, and Boom Cards™), you can use it in person, online, or both.
Cards come in three versions—color-coded parts of speech, black-and-white with icons, and plain text—so you can easily differentiate for your caseload. Students using AAC or who are non-readers can engage just as successfully as peers with stronger language skills.

Incredible Oral Language Resource
As I work with ELLs, the first domain we focus on is oral language. This Question of the Day resource has visuals, anchor charts, and enough scaffolding to allow for differentiating for all my learners. It’s so well thought out and appealing in many ways. My students love having visuals in front of them for support even allowing my most reluctant speakers to join in. Thank you!
