Think or Say?

Think or Say? - a thought into a choice

Each card shows a situation, then a thought the learner is having, then asks the same balanced question both ways round - for example “Should you THINK these words, or SAY these words?”. The clinician reads the card aloud, then the learner decides: THINK IT or SAY IT?

Level - the teaching pool. 1 Clear for early acquisition, 2 Nuanced where the situation decides, 3 Explain where the learner gives the reason. A card belongs to exactly one level. Your Skill Acquisition Plan says which.
Category - focus on one situation type (looks, smells, kind things…) or use all.
Order - shuffle the cards or step through them in order.
⚙ Settings - errorless, re-present errors, prompts, whether to reveal the reason, and whether the tiles swap sides between cards.
Prompt - highlights the correct bubble for an assisted response.
At Level 3 - after the tile, the card asks “Tell me why.” You score what the learner actually said as Correct, Partly correct or Not yet, and may add a short note. The example reasons are examples, not a scoring key: a good reason that is not listed there is still Correct.

How do I know - Think it or Say it?

Some thoughts we keep inside our head. Some thoughts are kind or helpful, so we can say them out loud.

Before you say a thought, ask yourself:

THINK IT Could it hurt someone’s feelings? Keep it inside.
THINK IT Is it about something private or embarrassing? Keep it inside.
SAY IT Is it kind or a nice compliment? You can say it!
SAY IT Is it helpful, or does it keep someone safe? Say it!

Not sure? It’s okay to keep it inside - or ask a grown-up.
