Each scene helps students learn to listen for subtle clues in dialogue and learn to pick up on implied information, much like a fast moving conversation!

STRENGTHENS CRITICAL THINKING

Readers and listeners must make logical deductions about the conversational clues between the two characters. 

VERSATILE LEARNING TOOL

Ideal for speech therapists, counselors, and educators working on social language inferencing, but also a fun learning activity for family game night!
