Description
With multiple decks and versatile cards, Superdecks encourage creativity and adaptability in both teaching and learning. Each deck comes with a game to get you started (additional games are available online), but their real value lies in their flexibility. Here are some learning-focused ways to use them:
- Build Social Thinking: Use the cards to create custom games like “Go Fish” to strengthen social regulation skills.
- Reinforce Positive Behaviour: Reward progress with Thinkables cards as a “good job” signal when a student successfully overcomes an Unthinkable.
- Visual Cues for Problem Solving: Keep an Unthinkable card visible to remind students to use their strategies when they feel challenged.
- Observation Skills: Play “I Spy” using Social Detective skills to identify Thinkables or Unthinkables in themselves, others, or situations throughout the classroom or school.
The Superdecks are best suited for students who have already been introduced to the Superflex concepts and Social Detective framework (from the book You Are a Social Detective or the Superflex Curriculum). They offer structured yet creative activities that help learners:
- Identify and categorize social behaviours using Thinkable and Unthinkable characters.
- Brainstorm strategies to address challenging situations.
- Apply social thinking skills in engaging, hands-on ways.
Encourage your students to think flexibly, strengthen problem-solving skills, and become confident social thinkers with Superflex Superdecks—a playful yet powerful tool for social-emotional learning!
