Dramatic Interpretations: Form the participants into pairs. Ask each pair to introduce themselves to each other non-verbally by acting out a few important things about themselves. No talking between partners can take place. When completed, have each person introduce their partner to the larger group by explaining what they learned about the person. Part of the fun of this activity is the corrections that are made after an interpretation of the non-verbal communication.
