They just exchanged position without focusing on eyes contact. To better explain to the group how the activity works, teachers started again the activity with only two participants. They were encouraged to maintain eyes contact until the end of the exchange, and to clearly show their intention to the class involving the rest of the body in their movement of walking.<\/p>\n<h6>How did students react to the activity?<\/h6>\n<p>As explained above, students initially have underestimated the importance of the activity. It is always crucial to make them focus on the main objective, thus allowing them to get the benefits of the process. Among the results of the gathered evaluation, some of the students stated that they discovered the importance of non-verbal communication, and that the activity has contributed to improve the learning climate of the classroom.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #21a03f; font-family: Slackey, display; font-size: 15px;\">Other comments:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Students and teachers should be aware that this activity is not just a game and that if it is done correctly, it works on many cognitive levels of self-perception, intention and communication.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_accordion_item][\/et_pb_accordion][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.7.7&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.7.7&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.7.7&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">For specific information on this activity, download the worksheet:<\/h2>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=&#8221;https:\/\/drop-in.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/11-connecting-eyes.pdf&#8221; url_new_window=&#8221;on&#8221; button_text=&#8221;Download&#8221; button_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.7.7&#8243; custom_button=&#8221;on&#8221; button_text_color=&#8221;#21a03f&#8221; button_bg_size=&#8221;contain&#8221; button_bg_position=&#8221;top_center&#8221; button_border_width=&#8221;1px&#8221; button_font=&#8221;Slackey||on||||||&#8221; button_use_icon=&#8221;off&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;25px||||false|false&#8221; button_text_shadow_style=&#8221;preset1&#8243; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; button_text_color__hover=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; button_text_size__hover_enabled=&#8221;on&#8221; button_bg_color__hover_enabled=&#8221;on&#8221; transform_styles__hover_enabled=&#8221;on&#8221; transform_scale__hover_enabled=&#8221;on&#8221; transform_translate__hover_enabled=&#8221;on&#8221; transform_rotate__hover_enabled=&#8221;on&#8221; transform_skew__hover_enabled=&#8221;on&#8221; transform_origin__hover_enabled=&#8221;on&#8221; background_layout__hover_enabled=&#8221;on&#8221; custom_css_main_element__hover_enabled=&#8221;on&#8221; button_bg_color__hover=&#8221;rgba(255,255,255,0)&#8221; transform_scale__hover=&#8221;196%|196%&#8221;][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>General objective To create the working team and strengthen the group.
