Improving Communication skills- Dumb Charades

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.

The students played dumb charades where sentences were given to the students and they had to explain the sentence to their fellow mated without speaking. They had to use non verbal communication- gestures and facial expressions to make them understand. While the other students had to understand the non verbal communication and guess the sentence. They learnt to read people through their actions.
