Aims and objectives
The activity aims to allow children to understand the importance
of non-verbal gestures in communication and to explore how people
with limited verbal ability can still be effective communicators.
Previous knowledge
No previous knowledge is required for this activity.
In the classroom
A series of 'non-verbal' animations need to be matched to an appropriate
statement. This activity works really well if used with an interactive
whiteboard. As a ‘whole’ class resource this will stimulate
discussion and support the development of children’s awareness
of people who may be less able than themselves.
