**Social cues **—both verbal and nonverbal— and body language are everywhere we look—often communicating more than words ever could. A raised eyebrow, crossed arms, a quick glance, or even silence can completely change the meaning of what’s being said. Sometimes, people need to “read between the lines” to fully understand the message. For students, the ability to recognize and correctly interpret both spoken and unspoken signals is an essential life skill. It helps them respond appropriately in conversations, build stronger relationships, and avoid misunderstandings.
This resource was designed to help middle and high school students strengthen their social awareness by identifying, interpreting, and responding to both verbal and nonverbal social cues in real-world situations. Whether it’s noticing sarcasm, decoding body language, or navigating subtle emotional signals in conversations or texts, these activities teach students to look beyond the words and understand the why behind them.
Students are also learning how to read between the lines, pick up on implied meaning, and understand the intent behind words, tone, and reactions.
With each worksheet, students build emotional intelligence, communication skills, and relationship awareness—tools that support not only social-emotional growth but also classroom success and conflict resolution.
Key Themes Students Will Explore in These Social Cues Activities:
▶ Reading Between the Lines
(Interpreting subtle messages that aren’t directly stated)
▶ Tone and Meaning
(How tone changes the meaning of a sentence in conversation or text)
▶ Recognizing Sarcasm and Passive Aggression
(Spotting when someone says one thing but means another)
▶ Identifying Emotional Clues
(Frustration, jealousy, discomfort, and more—without saying it outright)
▶ Cultural Awareness and Differences
(How people from different backgrounds use and interpret social cues)
▶ Text Message Interpretation
(Picking up on emotional tone and intent through written messages)
▶ Self-Expression and Misunderstanding
(How students communicate their own feelings—and what they want others to understand)
▶ Responding with Empathy
(Using social awareness to build trust and avoid conflict)
▶ Building Stronger Relationships
(Recognizing the power of nonverbal communication in friendships and group dynamics)

Impact of Your Words - Middle + High School SEL Activity and Interactive Lesson
By Jeni Donath
Creating a positive environment for students is a top priority, but it can be difficult when individuals lack an awareness of the impact of their words towards others, especially when it does not affect them in the same way. This activity brings awareness and a better understanding, while also increasing empathy and care toward others. I also like to remind students that we cannot control what other people chose to say and do, though we can take time to educate and create awareness, especially when something they are saying or doing is impacting us. This lesson can be customized to fit whatever statements would be most beneficial in recognizing within your school.

**▶️ **Responding effectively and empathetically to others
**▶️ **Strengthening communication skills for both school and real-life setting
**▶️ **Understand multiple possible meanings behind nonverbal signals
**▶️ **Develop conflict resolution strategies
