Choice cards


Similar to a break card, like discussed in an earlier post, choice cards can also be used for students that have difficulty communicating.  A choice card is a visual cue so that students can choose between 2 or more options/items.  Teachers can incorporate choice cards into many parts of the day: snacks, rewards, activity, game, toy, song, et cetera.  When a student picks their choice, the teacher needs to follow through so that the student feels that their needs/wants are being communicated.  This can help reduce frustrations and acting out because the student is able to make a choice on their own.
Listed below are three various activities that choice cards could be utilized in the classroom, for a younger aged group.  How have you incorporated choice cards into your classroom?
