Show It, Don't Say It

Can you tell a story without speaking or writing a single word? Humans have been using gestures, expressions, and movement to share stories for a lont time. Think of charades, dance, or silent films. Storytelling is everywhere. Nonverbal storytelling uses body language, facial expressions, and actions to communicate. It builds creativity, teamwork, and communication skills, and it’s fun! It reminds us that stories can connect people across languages and cultures.
