Active listening games hearing




















They should repeatedly look at their watch, look around the room, give bored expressions and a laid back posture. While starting off with a high energy, the expressions and hand gestures would soon come down, seeing the lack of interest of the listener.

This activity should then be repeated, but this time with active participation from the listener in terms of maintaining eye contact, questions, clarifications, paraphrasing and an overall positive body language. This is a group activity involving all the members of the team.

Make everyone stand in a circle with you at the centre. Give them two verbal cues — Sandwiches and Hamburgers. Also give them two corresponding actions. This can be raising the right hand for sandwiches and the left hand for hamburgers. Now, say the verbal cue out aloud, accompanied by the corresponding action. Ask everyone to follow your words. For the first few rounds, do it correctly. Raise the right hand for sandwiches and the left hand for hamburgers.

Then, start mixing them up. This game can be a lot of fun, with people misjudging the verbal cues and the actions, leading to some good hearted laugh. Divide the team into groups of two. Make the two members of each group sit back to back. Give a sheet containing a simple drawing, such as a mix of various shapes, to one person, without showing it to the other.

The person without the sheets gets a blank paper and a pencil to draw. They then have to ask questions and draw what they believe they are hearing, based on the answers from their partner. If you are not sure, you can fill in the missing words with your best guess. Get your partner to tell you which words you got correct and encourage you to use strategies to clarify parts of the sentence you may have gotten wrong. You can also practice phrases which are relevant to your personal life be that social or work activities.

As I mentioned in the previous section, this listening skills activity teaches kids how to use different parts of their bodies to ensure effective listening. Sitting in a circle, ask the first child to whisper a message to the ear of the person sitting on one either side.

That child proceeds to pass on the message to the next one, and so on. When the round is finished, the first and last children compare their messages. Usually, the last message is completely unrecognizable! Start a story. Every few sentences a new kid is chosen to continue where the previous one left it.

They need to state the previous items plus a new one of their choice. Print copies of a map. Deliver spoken instructions to arrive to a certain place or find something on the map.
