Product description

From the author

Use four compliment examples to practice receiving praise and giving a response. Students write in the blank speech bubbles, then discuss or rehearse their chosen words. A sample exchange appears on the cover.

The three-page PDF contains one activity worksheet, a cover and publisher information. Use the worksheet in a social-skills lesson and adapt discussion to students’ comfort with the activity.

Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

  • Respond to a compliment with an appropriate reply

  • Practise reciprocating compliments in a structured format

Teaching tips

  • Extend each written response into discussion: ask why the student chose that reply and what body language should accompany it

  • Use a first pass as a baseline measure of how a student currently handles praise, then repeat after social-skills instruction

  • Fold the sheet into an existing social-skills group session rather than using it as standalone seatwork

Skills covered

  • Receiving compliments — students consider compliments directed at them and formulate an appropriate response.

  • Reciprocating kindness — the give-one-get-one format prompts students to return a compliment, not just accept one.
