1950s Consumer Sears Catalog Simulation
By Sarah Austin
The year is 1956. You & your partner have taken advantage of new economic conditions & purchased a suburban home. Upon moving to the suburbs, you find you need to fill your home with clothes & furniture.
Use the Sears catalog provided to fill your home. The average monthly income in the USA in 1955 was $360. Let’s say you & your partner have been saving, and have a savings account of $600. The mortgage payment on your home is $60 per month, & let's say you use $40 per month for groceries. That leaves you with $500 to spend for the month!
Fill out the provided order sheet with the products you want to buy, and their prices. Do not spend more than $500, because then you will end up in debt! Beware–life events and circumstances happen, so adjust accordingly!

Social cues—expressed through body language and facial expressions—are a constant part of students’ lives, whether or not they are directly interacting with others. Students with social skills challenges may struggle to interpret these cues, including facial expressions, gestures, and overall posture. Misreading social cues can lead to misunderstandings and difficulties in navigating social situations.

From working with my own students, I realized many were unable to identify key form vocabulary such as (gender, county, & social security number). Many were also unable to accurately plug in their personal information or copy provided information onto a form often mixing up key information such as cities & counties or phone number & social security numbers.
This product will help your students to become more independent, confident and successful out in the community.

**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)
Covers topics such as:
**▶️ **Social cues and nonverbal communication
**▶️ **Body language and facial expressions
**▶️ **Tone of voice and emotional meaning
**▶️ **Eye contact and personal space
**▶️ **Recognizing sarcasm and mixed signals
**▶️ **Reading between the lines in conversation
**▶️ **Understanding cultural differences in communication
**▶️ **Interpreting text messages and digital tone

**▶️ **Friendship, exclusion, and group dynamics
**▶️ **Miscommunication and conflict resolution
**▶️ **Self-expression and being misunderstood
**▶️ **Identifying emotions through behavior
**▶️ **Building respectful, socially aware responses
Activity Worksheet Topics include:
★ Social Cues Anticipation Guide (2 variations)
★ Social Cues Self-Assessment
★ Understanding Social Cues using Real-Life Examples
★ Reading Between the Lines
★ It's Not What You Say, . . . It’s How You Say It!

******************************
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 **Social Cues Mega Bundle **combines four powerful resources to give middle and high school students multiple ways to practice reading, interpreting, and responding appropriately to social cues in a safe, structured way. Students will strengthen their social awareness, observation, inference, and communication skills through a mix of image-based analysis, real-world scenarios, and activities that explore various social cues—such as facial expressions, gestures, posture, tone of voice, personal space, and eye contact. They’ll also practice “reading between the lines” for verbal cues, understanding the meaning behind words, phrases, reactions, and tone to better interpret both spoken and unspoken communication.
Detailed **Answer Keys **and Sample Responses are included, making these activities completely no-prep. Teachers can easily facilitate meaningful discussions and model strong, thoughtful answers without additional planning.
Skills Students Will Build:
**▶️ **Recognize and interpret social cues in various contexts
**▶️ **Make inferences based on visual and situational clues
**▶️ **Build empathy and perspective-taking skills
**▶️ **Respond appropriately in different social situations
**▶️ **Observing and describing key details in nonverbal communication
**▶️ **Thinking critically about social situations and possible interpretations
**▶️ **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
▶️ Increase social confidence and self-awareness
**▶️ **Enhance interpretation skills—learning how to read between the lines, pick up on implied meaning, and understand the intent behind words, tone, and reactions.
Perfect for:
✔️ High School SEL
✔️ Middle School SEL
✔️ Social-emotional learning (SEL) lessons
✔️ Communication and relationship skills practice
✔️ English Language Arts tone and inference mini-lessons
✔️ Advisory, homeroom, or morning meetings
✔️ Counseling groups or individual reflection
✔️ Special education or speech/language sessions
✔️ Conflict resolution or behavior support lessons
