From yesterday’s Graduate Success Attribute (GSA) Class, I recorded the Charade Game activity. I divided the class to 4 big teams, identified as A, B, C and D. Then each of them will line up and I gave the first person a message and he need to convey the message using only his physical action (no verbal). Then the next person need to pass the message also using the same method to another person next to him. The process continues until the last student. Finally the last student must guess what the message is.

This activity shows the communication is very important and the information passed through can be distorted or wrongly intepreted.

Following are some of the students reflection taken from our Whatsapp group:

Student 1: We should try as hard as possible to retain the originality of the information when passing it to others.

Student 2: In my opinion , the video emphasize that communication is a chain of events, error in slight part will be disastrous.

Student 3: In my opinion, communication is not only depends on how we transfer an information in verbal form but it also depends on body language. A good communication is able to produce if our body language potrays the information that we need to pass on to the others.Therefore, what I learned from this activity is if an instructor who is responsible to pass an information is failed to merge his body language with his ideas or information, then the whole system will misintepret the actual information.

Body Language + Good Verbal Presentation = Perfect Communication
