1. Paper folding activity—To understand the importance of all components of communication. [NCERT]
Step 1: Teacher distributes half a sheet of paper to all students.
Step 2: Teacher instructs them not to ask any questions or look at others what they are doing. Teacher gives few
instructions, like fold the paper (without telling which way), tear a corner (without telling which corner upper
right/upper left/bottom right/bottom left) make a small hole (without telling where and how big)
Step 3: After many incomplete instructions, teacher asks students to open the given papers.
Step 4: Students shall be surprised to see that all papers look different.
Conclusion- Students understand the importance of clear, precise and complete instructions for effective communication.
They understand the importance of two-way communication, which allows the receiver to ask questions from sender for
better clarity.
2. Let us play Dumb charades. To play this game, divide the class in two groups.
Rules of the Game are:
Team A will give a "Name of a Gadget" to Team B.
One member from Team B will have to enact the "Gadget name" without speaking to his team and the team members have
to guess its name.
You can set up the rules for number of words, English/Hindi and so on. A member from Team B will have to enact these rules.
Identifying the "Gadget Name" will give 10 points to Team B.
Conclusion: While doing this activity, you will realise how without speaking a word and only with actions (Non-verbal
communication) the message can be conveyed to others.
