10 wordless videos that teach problem solving

31 Best Wordless Videos to Teach Problem Solving

Wordless videos are a fun and entertaining way to get your students learning and talking. Using wordless videos to teach problem-solving is a great way to keep your students stay engaged all while working on their goals.

Who Could Benefit From Wordless Videos?

Students who struggle to solve social problems can benefit from first practicing problem-solving someone else’s problems in a wordless animation, for example, prior to having to solve the social problems in their own lives. It’s easier to identify problems in someone else’s life than it is in your own life.

Ways in Which to Use Voiceless Videos

• Answering wh-questions: Have your students watch the animated short film and then ask them wh-questions.
• Retell a story/sequencing: After watching the films have your students retell or sequence the short film.
• Solving hypothetical problems: Use the following wordless videos to teach problem-solving. Stop the video throughout and have your students identify the problem and a possible solution to the problem. Then you can move on to practice solving problems in real life .
• Predictions/inferences: Stop the video throughout and have your students make predictions and inferences about what might happen next in the film.

Don’t Forget to Grab your Freebie!

Be sure to grab the freebie that goes along with this bundle of wordless videos. The freebie comes with:

• Problem-solving
• A set of wh-questions
• Story retell with predictions

There are 31 sets of the following worksheets.

Before you begin…

• I have watched all of these short animations to make sure they are appropriate. However, please preview the entire video prior to showing your students as you know best what is appropriate for your level of comfort and for your individual students.
• Almost all of these videos show ads prior to the start of the animation short. I suggest cueing up the video prior to showing the video to your students as some ads may not be appropriate.

10 Absurd Wordless Videos that Teach Describing

Wordless Videos Speech Therapy

I love using video in speech therapy. There are so many uses of video when students or clients struggle to describe, explain, or answer Wh-questions. Another fun way to spark conversation is to use “absurd images.” Showing a student a picture of something that could not be real is a great way to get them talking. For example, an image of a duck wearing roller skates could make a quieter student laugh and then discuss what’s wrong with the image.

Imagine combining both to really get students chatting during speech!

Wordless Videos for Inferencing

I’ve found 10 wordless videos that use absurdity that you can use to teach students how to use describing words. I think that the use of stop motion is so interesting. Also these videos would work best with middle school and high school-age students.

As usual, you should preview every video before you share them with students because you want to know the video content, but also to preview any ads that pop up. Your students and you will really enjoy these videos:

• Western Spaghetti – I never knew spaghetti could be so inedible
• Fresh Guacamole – Guacamole in a very different way
• Game Over – Gaming like never seen before
• Counterfeit Pizza – I would never eat this pizza
• Submarine Sandwich – Beyond weird
• Honda “Paper” – Such a beautifully made video
• Honda “The Power of Ridgeline” – I imagine this one would have taken forever
• Magic Water – This video is just plain fun!
• Bottle – One of the sweetest videos I’ve seen in a long time
• The cake is a lie – The caption is 100% true

How to Use Wordless Videos to Target Language Skills

10/04/2021 by Jenna Leave a Comment

Have you ever tried using wordless videos to target language skills during speech therapy sessions? There are so many reasons why using wordless videos is great for targeting language skills. Plus, using videos during speech therapy sessions can be very engaging for students.

You can easily target the following skills that students might have language goals for by using wordless videos:

• Building schema
• Making predictions/inferencing

Pause the video and ask students what might happen next or at the end of the video.

• Retelling/Sequencing

After watching the video, have the child tell you what happened in the video. Try using visual cues such as: first, next, last or have the child draw pictures.

Have students describe what the characters are doing and tell you characteristics about what they see-characteristics of their clothes, location, etc. 

• WH Questions 

Working on receptive language skills with students is a huge goal as an SLP. Using wordless videos and asking the student who, what, where, when and why questions will help you to know how well they comprehended what was happening in the video. Try using this Super Duper Publications Ask and Answer WH Bingo Board Game or Vocabulary Bingo to get more practice on WH questions after watching the wordless video. 

• Prediction or narrating

Pause the video to work on prediction and even narration. When the video gets to an exciting part, pause it to ask the student what they think will happen. Ask them to talk about what is happening in the video to have them help “narrate” the wordless video and use their language skills even more.

• Identifying emotions/ Reading body language

Using wordless videos is really great for helping students to identify the emotions of the characters. When the characters are not saying, “I’m mad or sad,” then the student has to rely on looking at their body cues and tune in to those social cues to understand what emotion they are feeling. This is a very important skill for children to make sense of.

• Cause/effect

Use the video to help students understand and organize cause and effect relationships. Ask questions such as, What would happen next if…? Why did that happen?

20 Wordless Videos to Use

There are so many other skills that you can work on such as many social skills, problem solving, empathy and even figurative language. If you want to try using wordless videos to target language skills during speech therapy sessions, here are 20 wordless videos you can use:

Simon’s Cat

Simon’s Cat is an animated web cartoon and book series featuring a hungry cat who uses increasingly heavy-handed tactics to get his owner to feed him. There are many different episodes of this show to choose from and you can watch it on Amazon Prime or search for it on YouTube .

Snack Attack

This is a short film from Pixar (about 5 minutes) that would be great for upper elementary students or even middle schoolers. An elderly woman works hard to get her cookies out of the vending machine, only to have a teenager eat most of them at the train station…or so she thinks. 

This is a short 4 minute film about a dog and his heroics.

This short film is only about 3 minutes about a young girl who must help a tiny boy pilot fly home before it’s too late.

Umbrella is an award-winning short film inspired by true events. The film follows the story of Joseph, a boy who lives in an orphanage and dreams of having a yellow umbrella, until he unexpectedly meets a little girl, who awakens his memories of the past. It is a great wordless video to help teach about empathy.

When the old fisherman tries to convince his donkey to climb the steep winding road of their Greek island, he finds Mariza to be very stubborn. But the old man knows that no one can resist Zorba’s dance.

Bunny New Girl

This is set in Australia and is about a little girl who begins at a new school. She is terrified on her first day at her new school and wears a bunny mask. She ends up making a friend when the mask reveals what was behind it.

Ormie the Pig

Ormie is a pig, in every sense of the word. He sees cookies. He wants the cookies. But they are out of reach…or are they? 

This is a short by Disney Pixar films. Piper tells the story of a hungry sandpiper hatchling who ventures from her nest for the first time to dig for food by the shoreline. The only problem is, the food is buried beneath the sand where scary waves roll up onto the shore.

Shaun the Sheep

Shaun the sheep is a series so there are many different episodes to choose from(4 seasons to be exact.) Each episode is usually about 7 minutes long. Join Shaun The Sheep and his barnyard buddies, Bitzer, Shirley, Timmy, for mayhem in the meadow, chaos in the countryside, and pandemonium in the pasture. This series is from the Oscar-award winning creators of “Wallace and Gromit.”

Carrot Crazy

Carrot Crazy is another short film by Disney Pixar. This wordless video is perfect for teaching emotions and social thinking-especially with the surprise ending!

Trouble in Paradise

Trouble in Paradise is an animated comedy following the daily adventures of Crabby, a small orange crab who lives on a tiny tropical island.

Set to the rousing music of Ben Charest (Triplets of Belleville), this animated short about a train takes you on a journey that is both funny and disastrous.

The Fox and the Mouse

A solitary fox finds itself improvising fatherhood for a freshly hatched baby bird. Two paths cross and a family is formed, until fate reminds each of the life it is meant to lead.

Partly Cloudy

Gus, a lonely and insecure gray cloud, sculpts dangerous babies to be delivered by Peck, his stork partner. As Gus’ creations become more and more rambunctious, Peck has to figure out a way to handle his cargo and his friend’s bad temperament. This is another Pixar short film.

The First of Spring

The title pretty much sums up this short film-winter is coming to an end and signs of spring are appearing.

This wordless video is only about 2 minutes long. Watch a hunter and a deer battle each other in this silly short! film.

For the Birds

Yet another short film by Pixar. ​​One by one, a flock of small birds perches on a telephone wire. Sitting close together has problems enough, and then comes along a large dopey bird who tries to join them. The birds of a feather can’t help but make fun of him — and the clique mentality proves embarrassing in the end.

Coin Operated

“Coin Operated” is an award-winning 5 minute animated short film that spans 70 years in the life of one naive explorer.

Dust Buddies

Dust Buddies is an adorable short film about the solid friendship between two dust bunnies as they try to escape the clutches of a ruthless cleaning maid.

Silent Films For Curiosity Beyond Judgment

Better World Ed ‘s silent films provide kids with meaningful awareness and exposure to unique people, cultures, perspectives, and ways of life.

Silent Films Deepen Academic Learning

Wordless videos have been shown to boost curiosity and engagement, to improve reading comprehension and academic learning, and to help students explore topics that matter to them. These benefits are showing to be interconnected: fostering curiosity and a sense of purpose is fundamental for a student’s academic success , and early math and reading success is a strong predictor of long term success .

New research is also showing that curiosity building can play a huge role in a student’s overall academic learning. Empathy, understanding, and academics — all at once.

Student Perspectives On Silent Films

“This is the first time in my life I feel like I’m not being told what to think.”

“Everyone’s always telling me what to believe and how things work. I feel like now I get to think for myself.”
