Have fun with family or friends (at home/virtually/online)! You will play charades! Depending on how many people you have, you can even form groups and compete. The basic rule is that one or more people will act out a word/phrase nonverbally and cannot talk, and the other one or more people will guess.
A moderator can make flash cards and choose words for guessing, or you can make use of some game apps or online platform
Discuss and then write up your answers to the following questions (note the length and format requirements in your syllabus).
Discussions:
- What is nonverbal communication?
- Is it easy to rely on nonverbal cues to communicate? What are the advantages and challenges?
- Do people interpret the same nonverbal cue in exactly the same way? Why?
- Do people use nonverbal cues in the same way (as a habit or an ability)? Why?
- Other thoughts from this activity? Other intake?
