[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 359174, member: 3907"] This is an exercise I used as an ice-breaker in a class I taught on communication skills many years ago. [B][SIZE="3"]The Non-Verbal Introduction Exercise[/SIZE][/B] [LIST=1] [*]Working in pairs, 'interview' each other [*]Find out as much as possible about your partner [*]You may use gestures, facial expressions, etc., but no spoken OR written words [*]Introduce your partner to the rest of your table group [*]Your partner can then add to, delete from or correct the information [/LIST] The main purpose was to get people thinking about how difficult it is to communicate when there is a significant barrier in your way, and how misunderstandings and confusion are easy. It also gets people in tune with each other`s body language, which is good in a setting where people need to be open with each other later. Again, not sure if this is suitable for your support group, but it might be something you can keep in your back pocket in case you need it. [/QUOTE]
