Negotiating charades


You can modify the familiar game of charades to sensitize yourself to the importance and meaning of body language. These two formats seem to work best:
  • Someone can mime an emotion, and the other players must identify it. This game is simple and fun, and it demonstrates the variety of nonverbal communications available in faceto face communications.
  • Players can mime an entire negotiation —either individually or as teams. The other team or player is required to figure out specifically what the negotiation is about and what positions are represented.
