Body Language & Gestures Double Dice Add-On Deck

So much of communication happens without words, through gestures, posture, and facial expression. Students who miss these cues miss meaning. These photo cards make nonverbal signals explicit and give students practice interpreting them.

Build nonverbal communication skills through photo-based practice interpreting gestures, posture, and facial expressions.

The Body Language & Gestures Double Dice Add-On Deck strengthens social interpretation using real photographs of people using gestures and body language. Each card pairs a high-quality photograph with follow-up questions that guide students to interpret intent, explain meaning, and demonstrate understanding. With 54 cards, the visuals span multiple age groups, making the deck appropriate for children and teens alike.

Skill targets:

• Explaining common gestures in everyday situations
• Understanding body posture and movement
• Interpreting facial expressions and emotional cues
• Demonstrating socially appropriate responses and gestures

How to play:

1. Place nine cards face down on the table.
2. The student rolls the double dice.
3. The outer die reveals a shape, so flip over the card with the matching shape.
4. The inner die reveals a number, so read the corresponding prompt.
5. The student responds, then play moves to the next student.

Who are these photo cards helpful for?

The Body Language & Gestures Double Dice Add-On Deck is ideal for Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs), special educators, and classroom teachers, and it fits pragmatic language therapy, social skills groups, and autism support programs. Particularly valuable from grade 1 upward, since the vendor’s own visuals span children through teens and nonverbal interpretation stays a goal across that range. These photo cards support individual therapy, small group intervention, classroom-based social skills programming, and home practice with families.

Why Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs) love this deck:

These photo cards use real images of gestures and expressions, which is far more transferable than describing nonverbal cues in the abstract. The follow-up questions move from explaining a gesture to demonstrating an appropriate response, letting you scale across ages and levels. The double dice (sold separately) adds engagement, or you can use the prompts for simple turn-based practice.

Body Language & Gestures Double Dice Add-On Deck includes:

• 54 large 3 x 5 inch playing cards, each with one photo and four follow-up questions
• Instruction and variation cards
• Sturdy storage tin for easy organization

Please note: This is an add-on deck. The double dice is not included, but can be purchased separately here.
