Activity Overview


Communication without words can be extremely challenging for people who rely heavily on speech. Have students choose phrases and words that are most important to them and create their own communication board. Have students try to communicate with partners/groups using only their completed boards. Supply students with a list of possible questions to ask one another; word some of them as yes/no and some that would be tricky to answer.


A few possible questions might be:

  • "How are you?"
  • "Are you tired?"
  • "Do you want to go home?"
  • "What do you want to do today?"
