Body Language Match-Up is the perfect game to laugh and learn to become better communicators together. You will spark natural conversations about the impact body language can have on the messages you send.

Research tells us that when our body language doesn’t match our words, listeners will pay more attention to body language. Anyone who has ever been told, “It’s not what you said; it’s how you said it,” has experienced this mismatch!

Start building communication skills to take into real-life social situations by playing this easy, fun game!

KEY FEATURES

• Super Easy to Play
  • Played just like a traditional matching game — the winner is the one who collects the most matching pairs.
• Instant Feedback Improves Learning
  • There are SAY IT and DO IT cards. On your turn, flip over one of each card. Other players watch as you read the SAY IT card, and perform the action on the DO IT card. Everyone weighs in about whether what you SAY matches the body language that you DO!
• Control the Length of the Game
  • Only have 10 minutes? Play with fewer matches. Got time for a longer game? Use the whole deck!
• Fun, Easy Learning
  • Colorful teaching cards outline give you the tools you need to understand OPEN versus CLOSED body language signals prior to playing.
• Therapist Created and Approved
  • Body Language Match-Up was created by Rebekah and Leigh, two therapists who needed a tool that turned learning about body language into a fun game! It’s used by speech therapists, occupational therapists, psychologists, educators, and folks who lead camps and social skills groups.
