Introduction

Objective

Develop learners’ non-verbal communication skills.

Activity: Mirroring (10 min)

Step 1:

Place the learners in pairs – Partner A and Partner B. Partner A starts off by creating their own unique posture, facial expression or body movement. Partner B copies/mirrors whatever Partner A does.

Step 2:

Switch roles. Partner B now creates the movements, and Partner A copies them.

Step 3: Reflect

Discuss as a class if there is time.

  1. What was it like doing this activity?

  2. When you mirrored your partner, did you notice any emotion that they showed?

Lesson 2: Empathy
