What To Say Next Conversation Cards (PDF)

Help teens, young adults, and neurodiverse individuals feel more confident navigating real-life conversations with this printable set of 40 Conversation Support Cards.

Unlike traditional conversation starters, these cards provide practical phrases that can be used when someone isn't sure what to say next, needs help keeping a conversation going, wants to join a group discussion, or needs support getting back on track during a conversation.

The cards are organized into five easy-to-use categories:

• Starting Conversations
• Keep the Conversation Going
• Group Conversations
• Awkward Moments
• Getting Back on Track

These cards offer simple prompts to guide you when a conversation stalls, feels awkward, or you're not sure how to continue. Pick a card and use the suggested phrase to get your conversation back on track and build confidence over time.
