Kids love selfies! Use these 66 crazy selfies to target language skills with your students! See ALL the skills you can target with this fun resource below! These activities were made for speech and language therapy, but they can also be used to address the speaking and listening Common Core Standards!

What buyers are saying:

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Probably one of the best things I have ever purchased on TPT. The clipart + visuals cannot be beat.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My middle schoolers had so much fun with your product. I loved all of the graphics and the tie-in to EET. My students thought I was so cool because of this game.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I agree with other reviewers...this product is awesome. It's such a creative idea and concept. I especially like the WH questions, the prompts for describing and customization. Thank you! I have as much fun as my students do during this activity! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wow, Mia! Your creativity never ceases to amaze me!! I am using the Lindamood Bell Visualizing/Verbalizing program with some of my language impaired students - What a creative and engaging way to get the kids to use descriptive language skills! Thank you for the added bonus of the 'Who, What, When, Where, Why..." anchor charts.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is another winner! Thanks Mia! I love that I can use these with my language students as well as my articulation students. This packet is a fun way to keep students involved. I love all the creativity!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I LOVE this! Your activities are always so visually engaging, yet so functional. I love that I can incorporate the EET with this and that it can be used with younger and older students. Thank you!

How to use this resource:

► You can use the materials in any way you please (I often use bits and pieces), but it's designed to be used as a card game. Whoever gets to keep the most selfies WINS! No one can resist a little friendly competition :)

► This product can be used to practice describing (along with Sara Smith's EET) as well as answering questions. The questions posed in this product require students to make inferences, describe, give opinions, make predictions, attend to details, draw conclusions, interpret mood, read facial expressions, and defend their answers.

► Have students take turns picking a selfie photo card AND a task card. Then, they'll respond to there task card (all skills listed above). If their answer is appropriate, they get to keep the selfie. If it’s not appropriate, the selfie should be placed at the bottom of the selfie deck. Watch out for wild cards that shake up the game. When the game is over (either at the end of the session or when a set timer rings) the person with the most cards from the selfie deck wins!
