- In pairs, the children construct a 'telephone', using empty food cans with string knotted through a hole in the end. Sitting back to back and a little way apart, they take turns to talk down the line to each other. Ask them to experiment by changing the loudness, pitch or tone of their voice. Discuss the best way to speak and to give and receive messages. What helps, what hinders, what is missing? Draw out the importance of body language and facial expressions in effective communication.
