Enhancing Non verbal communication through appropriate tone and gestures

" Non verbal communication is an elaborate secret code that is written nowhere, known by none, and understood by all. "

- Edward Sapir

In communication, generally the focus is more on the usage of words rather than the gesture, tone and the way those words are uttered. But, the impact of the same word can be different when blended with appropriate tone and gesture. The students of grade 6, had a session on enhancing their communication skills through the use of non verbal gestures.

They had different activities which explained to them the importance of eye contact, hand movements, tone and their facial expressions.

The students were given a dialogue from a famous Bollywood movie and were asked to speak the dialogue, "MOGAMBO KHUSH HOA" expressing a particular emotion given to them.
