343 – Acting Out
Purpose/Objectives: Communication is defined as the act of giving or
exchanging information by talk, gesture, or writing.
Words, whether spoken or written, allow us to commu-
nicate, but, so do gestures and expressions. Smiling,
frowning, shrugging, and nodding are used constantly to
give us feedback about what we have said or done.
This is a relatively brief and enjoyable exercise that
gives the participants the opportunity to use nonverbal
communication skills to convey messages. It is particu-
larly valuable when used as a break after a more
intense communication skills exercise.
