About this resource
Perspective taking task cards and worksheets for grades 3-8. Each card is a short, everyday moment in words, with no faces to read. The student finds the clues, then writes how someone else might feel and what they might think. Worksheets with room to write, a word helper, a worked example and a log turn it into something you can use all week.
EVERYTHING INSIDE — 33 pages
- 24 text scenario task cards in 3 sets of 8 (School; Friends and Games; Home and Out), cut apart 2 across and 4 down so each cut is one straight line. 8 of the 24 ask about two people or ask why
- Try One Together: a worked moment, step by step, with an invented character
- My Feeling Word Helper: 24 feeling words in 3 groups, plus two sentence starters
- How Might They Feel? 3 pages, 6 moments: circle a feeling, then write what they think
- Be a Clue Detective: 3 short clue puzzles
- Two Views: 2 pages, 4 moments, one box for each person and a line for what could help both
- Make My Own Moment: the student writes a moment and shows two people's views
- My Card Answers: a 6-row answer sheet for the task cards
- 8 blank task cards for the student's own moments
- My Perspective Check: 15 circles (5 days, 3 times a day) to color
- A how-to page and 2 pages of ideas you might hear for all 24 cards
- A Perspective Log (20 rows: date, when, card number, feeling named Y/N, thought named Y/N, initials)
- A weekly roll-up (8 weeks) with a percent graph
- A filled example: an invented student, one week on the log, three weeks on the roll-up and the cards used by set
- A family page with 6 small cards to cut apart and a note home
- A hand-off page so a paraprofessional or another classroom uses the same cards the same way
- A phrase bank: 23 lines in 6 groups (spoken lines for the cards, written starters for the log, the roll-up and the note home)
- A storage and binder label sheet: 12 labels and a spine strip
- Start Here, a contents page that maps every page, and a "what's next" back page
The Task Cards
Moments like a spelling test, a spilled lunch tray, being the new student at a lunch table, a game that ended one point short, a tower a little brother knocked over. Every card is words only, so the student reads the clues in the moment and imagines. Every character is invented. Every moment is an everyday school, friend or home one.
The Worksheets
Every student page has a "My name" line, one short instruction with a picture, big rounded words, and room to circle, color or write. 13 worksheet moments in all (6 feeling, 4 two-view, 3 clue puzzles).
What This Is, And What It Is Not
It is a fillable PDF: type into the name lines, the writing lines, the log, the roll-up, the family page, the hand-off page and the blank cards, or print and use a pen. It works offline with no account or subscription. It is NOT an editable online slideshow or word-processor document.
Who This Is For
Teachers, counselors, special education teachers and paraprofessionals who want short, concrete perspective taking practice for grades 3-8, and the families who get the home page.
