Classroom Challenge: No Talking

Today in both speech classes, we were only allowed to use nonverbal communication. It was quite interesting since we also brought food to share. 



We utilized the board for things that just HAD to be said... Like "Quit hogging the brownies!" We eventually ran out of room and started on the other board. 


Shea, like a complete weirdo, brought Jello to a class party. Yes, Jello. Can we all just say a collective "WHAT?!" 


We discovered that it's quite difficult to communicate without speaking. It's possible... But not easy. I also discovered that despite the garbage on the radio today some kiddos still have good taste. We listened to Styx, AC/DC, and Boston.

Nobody said anything (save a few chuckles and sneezes), and they all passed the classroom challenge with flying colors! Good job, guys.
