Social Communication Summer Homework for Older Students

April 6, 2025

Do you use social communication summer homework to prevent the summer slide for your older students? Looking for relevant social communication activities to use with middle and high school students during your warm-weather months? I’ve created two sets of BOOM cards for older students that address the critical social communication skills of

  • conversations,
  • perspective taking,
  • problem solving and
  • understanding idioms in context.

Social Communication Summer Homework by Setting

These BOOM cards are geared for practicing social communication skills by setting/location. Each deck includes activities for 3 locations and the bundle contains activities for all 6 settings:

  • Zoo,
  • Library,
  • Museum,
  • Pool,
  • Camping,
  • Fair/carnival.

These sets of BOOM cards provide multiple response options for your older students, including yes/no, multiple choice and open-ended responses where students (or therapist) can type the response. Click on the images below to check them out on BOOM Learning.

How Assign BOOM Cards?

Boom Learning makes it easy to use BOOM cards for social communication summer programs or homework. 

3 options:

Fastpins or Fastplay links, (my mode of choice: links last 14 days and do not require student log-in),

Hyperplay links (do not expire so work well for assigning summer homework but do require student log-in),

From a Boom classroom, (if you have them set up).  No link required but requires the student to log in.

Many SLPs use google classroom so it’s worth noting that you can assign BOOM cards via GOOGLE classroom.

Assigning BOOM decks through Google Classroom.

I have many decks of BOOM cards on social communication topics.  Many of them are comprehensive lessons.
