Tone of Voice: Valentine Edition

Last year, our social skills group talked about the importance of using an expected tone of voice.  I created a quick and basic activity to introduce the idea, which you can find here at our TPT store.  This year, we expanded on this idea, and just in time for Valentine's Day.  In anticipation that the students may receive a Valentine that says "I love you" or "Be mine," they would have some practice to use a tone that was more cheerful or grateful instead of annoyed or embarrassed.

Today, we used this activity, and it was a big success!  The students were each given a heart phrase card and an emotion word card.

They were asked say their phrase using the given emotion word.  (We also related the words to the Zones of Regulation® as extra review from previously learned skills.)  They were a hoot!  I laughed.  They laughed, and we all had a great time.  This was a great Valentine's Day activity minus the candy!

You can find the activity here.  It will be FREE until 7:00 pm tonight!  If you download, please leave a comment and let us know what you think!
