Body Language Worksheet for Kids
Communication tip (Your body talks too): Positive body language: standing tall, friendly eye contact, a relaxed smile, facing the person, nodding to show interest, sitting up straight. Negative body language: slouching low, arms tightly crossed, rolling your eyes, turning your back, staring at your shoes, standing too close. Four parts: eye contact (looking at the speaker), posture (sitting up straight, slouching), facial expression (a warm smile, a frown), gesture (a thumbs-up, waving hello). Stand about an arm’s length away.
