  1. Activity 2: What am I communicating?

  2. Body language facts • To show disgust we wrinkle up our noses and raise our top lip. This same expression is used in cultures worldwide. • The smile is universal too. A genuine smile uses muscles around the eyes that we can’t fake.

  3. Body language facts • If you are interested in someone that is talking to you, your feet will usually be pointing towards them – even if you’re not actually talking to them. • Lots of body language gestures are about how others follow a leader. Watch what happens when you cross one leg, put your hand on your chin or move forward in your chair. Others will start to copy you! This technique is often used in interviews – and it can help the candidate to feel more relaxed.

  4. Body language facts • Animals know that if you narrow your eyes you are not pleased with them.

  5. Body language facts • You spot when someone is not telling the truth by looking out for any (or all) of these signs: • Little eye contact • Sweating • Too many hand movements • Biting the fingernails • Chewing of the inside of the mouth • Swallowing (because the inside of the mouth is dry) If people are good liars though, they might not show any of these signs.

  6. Pair work • Work in pairs. • Turn over all the prompt cards. • Take it in turns to read one of the prompt cards and then act out the emotion / feeling on the card. • You can only use body language – no talking! • Your partner has to guess what emotion / feeling you are conveying.
