Gestures and body language are important aspects of communication. Not only for our youngest ones, but also for when we learn a new language and don't know the words yet.

In this video we talk about:
  • How to play Charades
  • How to keep the game fun and enjoyable for all players
  • How the game can help consolidate knowledge of the home language
  • How to play it using different languages
  • The importance of gestures for language acquisition and learning 
  • Communication when children are not verbal yet
  • Gestures across languages and cultures

Watch the video and let us know in the comments: 
How do you use gestures and sounds in your family?
Do your children like to play Charades?
