Today, we are going to have some fun by having a
one-of-a-kind game.

But before that, you will be grouped into two first.

Do you know the game, charades? Yes.

That’s good. So you are already familiar with the

mechanics of the game, right? Our game is
entitled, “Emoji Charades.”

I have here pieces of paper and all of them contain

titles of a movie in an emoji form. One
representative from each group will pick a piece
of paper and he/she will act whatever title he
picked.

Other members of the group will guess the act.

Each correct answer is equivalent to 2 point. A 5
second steal will be given to the other group in (The students will be grouped into two.)
case the other group will not be able to guess the
title.

Is that clear?

If that’s the case, let’s start the game. (The student will do an activity)

D. Discussion
Now, the thing that you did a while back has
something to do with our topic for today.

On your activity a while ago, you were able to

guess some of the titles of the movies, right?
Yes.

What did you use in guessing the titles that your

classmates picked? We used words.

What about in guessing those titles, what did one

of your classmates use? They used actions.

Exactly! So, it means that not just through words

we can communicate, but through actions as well.

The thing that you did a while back has something

to do with verbal communication and nonverbal
communication.
Now, let’s take look what verbal communication
is. Please read.
(A student will read the definition of verbal
communication.)
It uses of words to convey a message. Some forms
of verbal communication are written and oral
communication.
(The teacher will expound the term.)
There are things that we also need to consider in
verbal communication. Can you read them.
(The teacher will explain these things.)
Now, if there is verbal communication, there is
also nonverbal communication. What do you
think is this?
Very good!
In other words, nonverbal communication is an
interaction without the use of words. Our actions
and behaviour can be used instead.
Now there are reasons why mastery of non-verbal
communication is very important.
(The teacher will flash these reasons and will
explain these.)
Is everything clear?
E. Application
Now, with the same group a while ago, you are
going to prepare a short role playing about a
particular scene from a movie or play of your
choice. Verbal communication and nonverbal
communication should be seen in your
presentation.
