Introducing Conversation Tennis Match, a social story designed to help kids learn about conversations in a fun and engaging way. We use the analogy of a tennis match to explain how conversations work. Just like in tennis, participants take turns "hitting" the conversation back and forth, ensuring that everyone has a chance to contribute. By comparing conversations to a tennis match, children can grasp the concept of turn-taking and mutual exchange more easily. The analogy makes abstract ideas more concrete and relatable. Includes ideas for additional activities in the classroom.
