πŸ“š What is Body Language?

Body language is how we communicate using our bodies instead of talking. It's like a silent language! We use our faces, hands, and how we stand to show how we feel. Even if we don't say anything, our bodies are always talking!

😊 Why is Body Language Important?

Understanding body language helps us know what other people are feeling. It helps us talk to each other better and be good friends.

  • 😊 Happy: A big smile and bright eyes!
  • 😠 Angry: Furrowed eyebrows and crossed arms.
  • 😒 Sad: Droopy eyes and a frown.
  • 😲 Surprised: Wide eyes and an open mouth.

πŸ–οΈ Examples of Body Language

  • πŸ‘‹ Waving: Means "Hello" or "Goodbye."
  • πŸ‘ Thumbs Up: Means "Good job!" or "Okay!"
  • 🀝 Shaking Hands: Means "Nice to meet you" or "Let's be friends."

🎭 How to Practice Body Language

  • 🎭 Mirror Game: Stand in front of a mirror and make different faces. Can you show happy, sad, and angry?
  • πŸ‘€ People Watching: Watch people at the park or in a store. What do you think they are feeling?
  • πŸ“– Story Time: When someone is telling a story, watch their body language. Does it match what they are saying?
