  • Body Language Match Up

    In this quick playing matching game, players turn over SAY IT cards and DO IT cards to try to match spoken phrases with body language prompts that send the same message. But beware, our messages get mixed up when our bodies communicate something different than what we’ve said! Can you tell when your nonverbal and verbal signals match and collect the most pairs?  

     

    SKILLS THIS WORKS ON
    • Know the messages you send with body language
    • Understand and interpret body language in others
    • Improve social inferencing
    • Better understand sarcasm
    • Build confidence in social settings
    DETAILED PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

    Body Language Match-Up is the perfect game to laugh and learn to become better communicators together. You will spark natural conversations about the impact body language can have on the messages you send.

    Research tells us that when our body language doesn't match our words, listeners will pay more attention to body language. Anyone who has ever been told, "It's not what you said; it's how you said it," has experienced this mismatch!

    Start building communication skills to take into real-life social situations by playing this easy, fun game!

    KEY FEATURES
    Super Easy to Play

    Played just like a traditional matching game -- the winner is the one who collects the most matching pairs.

    Instant Feedback Improves Learning

    There are SAY IT and DO IT cards. On your turn, flip over one of each card. Other players watch as you read the SAY IT card, and perform the action on the DO IT card. Everyone weighs in about whether what you SAY matches the body language that you DO!
