✨ This resource is included in the discounted Social Emotional Learning Activity Worksheet Mega Bundle!

********************************

**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, 6th, School Counseling, No-prep, Activities

By Elena Tenisi

As the school year is ramping up, so is the drama. I've had a lot of different cliques express the same issues; gossip, miscommunication, and misunderstandings. I decided to create some worksheets that can help lead the discussion on how to deal with friendship drama.

Resource includes a true and false section, scenarios they can relate to, the do's and don'ts of drama, and a chance for them to spill their drama to the llama.

Resource comes in color and black/white versions.

A HUGE thank you to the following content creators for making my resource possible:
