Gentle Word Swap

Students read a series of sentences containing unkind or insensitive wording and rewrite each using more respectful language. The activity focuses on choosing words that communicate empathy and understanding while keeping the same basic meaning. This strengthens students’ rewriting skills and helps them practice socially appropriate communication. By transforming harsh phrases into considerate expressions, learners become more mindful of how word choice impacts others. The worksheet supports vocabulary development and emotional intelligence in language use.
