What educators are saying

This product provided fun ways for my students to focus on their gestures more. They were engaged and much more away of body language during their speeches. Great product!
This was a great lesson for presentation skills. It had a variety of activities (independent work, reading, writing, pairing up, group work, speaking). Thank you.

Guess the Gesture: Introduce nonverbal communication with a (PPT or Google Slides) presentation. First, students guess the meaning of ten different gestures. Next, students provide an example of when the gesture might be used. This activity can be done orally or on paper. A printable and digital worksheet for recording answers is included.

Gestures Informational Text: The printable and digital text is focused on the meaning and uses of gestures.

Gestures Comprehension Questions: Students answer five comprehension questions based on the gestures text. The questions are set up to ensure student understanding. The gestures practice activity can be completed as a class or with partners.
