Texting with Friends | Social Skills Activity

Teach and practice texting with this interactive digital activity. Students can learn how to respond to text messages from friends. This is a helpful resource to add to your lessons on social skills, technology use, texting, life skills, and more.

This is a 75-page slide deck activity with differentiated level questions. There are 3 levels of differentiation in this activity: multiple choice, type with word bank, and open-ended typing.

This activity is built to encourage discussions around social interactions. We have multiple correct answers to most questions and it supports students getting creative with their answer choices. There really isn’t just ONE way to text a response back!
