2. Human Communication
● Ever since the human race came into
existence, we have been communicating with
our community either verbally or non-verbally.
With the advent of speech and language,
communication gave us complex systems to
talk and get our messages across to the others.

3. Close Relationships
● Close relationships can suffer from a lack of
communication or misunderstandings. In such
a situation, it becomes necessary for us to
understand that the closer the relationship, the
better communication it demands.

4. 3 Communication Skills Exercises
● What follows is a list of
communication skills exercises that will help
you in maintaining good relationships with the
people around you.

5. Mirror The Body Language
● Most people do not understand the effectiveness of
body language. Good body language can be the
right way for you to make yourself and others
around you comfortable. For this, simply start
mirroring the body language of the person you wish
to talk to.
● This signals their brain that you are interested and
the communication may then take place. Even
during verbal communication, you can keep
following this trick for improved results.

6. Play Word Ball
● This game is quite interesting and is often considered
good for starting conversations with new people. Throw
the ball and say a word. The person who gets the ball
then says something that relates to that word and throws
the ball again.
● In groups, when your focus is on someone special, you
can throw the ball towards them and wait for a response.
This way, a good communication is established. Example
starting words could be, “Sun / Sunshine.”

7. The Mirror Communication Skills
Exercise
● This is one of the most popular forms of exercise that may help
you understand the value of good communication skills. Two
people are chosen in this exercise. One has to speak and the
other has to act out everything that the first person says.
● This will help the first person understand that he needs to
speak slowly and chose good words for the second person to
understand. Similarly, the second person understands the
value of spoken words and takes his time to process
everything being said.

8. Strengthen Your Relationships
● Remember, good communications skills are the
foundation of every relationship and you need
to make sure that everything you do
strengthens your relationships.
