For Teachers
- Hand out playing cards. Students have to find others with the same suit as their card – diamonds, hearts, spades or clubs – without talking. Discuss how they found each other.
- Lead a classroom discussion how in English Canada we (generally) give hugs to our family and friends and in French Canada we (generally) do the two cheek “kiss kiss.’ (This is a topic is covered in the lesson “Je dis bonjour.” The point I am trying to teach in non-verbal communication is different in different cultures).
- Role-play non-verbal communication:Non-verbal communication Game Cards
- Play the First Nation’s non-verbal game Slahal.
