Should I or Shouldn't I activity

Should I or Shouldn't I is a card game targeting social problem solving skills and social expectations for teenagers. This game involves a scenario being read out to the group. Each student rates the situation on a scale called the Social Interpretation Scale from 1-5 one being a positive reaction and 5 being something that is unsafe or breaks rules. After everyone rates the scenario the SLP can lead a discussion about the scenario and the ratings the students gave it. Example questions to lead the discussion could be 

1. How would you feel if _____ happened to you?

2. Why did you rate the scenario that way?

3. Some people might rate this scenario a ___, can you think of any reasons why they would rate it this way?

4. What could we do instead of this to make the scenario right?  

In order to increase difficulty there are also challenge cards where a scenario is presented and the student is asked what an appropriate response would be. This opens up the group to a discussion about appropriate responses and strategies to common social situations. If the SLP knows about specific situations the student is struggling with these real life scenarios can also be discussed in the group and rated on the Social Interpretation scale. Data collection will be done via a +/- system.
