Sherlock Holmes
Non-verbal Communication Activity
Today you are going to be part of a very important experiment. In order for this experiment to
work, you must not talk or vocalize in any way. We are going to communicate strictly by
nonverbal means.
INSTRUCTIONS: Throughout the class period, you will be asked to express your feelings. You
will need to use a blank piece of paper to record the following italicized information.
1. Line up according to birth date. For example, January 3 before January 18, then March 7,
May 12, etc. The year of birth is not important. There should not be any verbal communication.
When finished, write down the people you stood between.
2. Read the article, “Adventures of Sherlock Holmes” and the remainder of the packet.
3. "Object language” is one type of non-verbal communication. It simply is the intentional or
unintentional display of material things. It might be art objects, machines, clothing, jewelry,
etc. A social worker who appears in a ghetto neighborhood driving a flashy car and wearing
expensive clothing is obviously using the wrong language if he/she hopes to establish rapport
with the people. Write a list of five objects or items in the room and describe the message you
receive from each of them. (The objects may be part of some one’ s attire.)
4. Watch the program playing on the television for ten minutes. This will not have any
vocalization or music included. After viewing the program for 10 minutes, you must write a
description of what you observed. Be sure to include the story line, facial expressions, eye
contact, body movements, hand gestures, physical appearance, and feelings of the characters.
5. Look at each of the advertisements posted around the room. All of the written
communication has been eliminated. Try to identify what the people in the ads are trying to
portray. Write on your answer sheet your own captions for each ad according to what you think
they are trying to say.
