Objectives

The learner can use non-verbal communication.

Preparation

Preparation:

  • Indicate a spot or line on the floor behind which the learners will have to queue.

Materials needed:

  • Blackboard and chalk or flip chart and pens.

Instructions

  • Divide the group into two teams.
  • Let the learners queue behind the starting line.
  • Give the last learner of each team a number.
  • S/he has to pass it to the learner in front of him/her without speaking, e.g. by forming the number on the back of the person.
  • The learners pass the number on, up to the first learner in line.
  • S/he runs to the blackboard to write down the number. S/he also says the number aloud.
  • The first team to write and say the correct number, gets a point.
  • Make sure every learner gets to run.

Variant

  • Let the learners pass short words instead of numbers.
