Sightlines Activity Step 3: What are they feeling and thinking about?
Many children with perspective-taking difficulty do not understand how sightlines lead to internal thoughts. This set of task cards introduces the way that observed sightlines, paired with the feelings of the person looking at something, can help determine more specific thoughts than sightlines, alone. One side of the card has an image of a person or people looking at something with a specific emotion on their face. The reverse side of the card has the same image with a thinking bubble with a written thought in it that combines the sightline and thinking bubble information from Step 2 in this series. This is step 3 of 5 step-by-step sightline activities that build to teaching early perspective-taking.
