Verbal vs. Nonverbal

Worksheet Description

This worksheet serves as an educational tool to enhance verbal communication skills by prompting users to reflect on various social scenarios. Titled “Verbal Communication,” it features a speech bubble icon, reinforcing the theme of spoken interaction. The header instructs users to describe situations where different verbal skills would be appropriate, encouraging thoughtful engagement with common communicative tasks.

The body of the worksheet is organized into eight distinct sections, each presenting a different verbal skill. These skills range from “Giving someone unsolicited advice” to “Speaking calmly when you are angry,” covering a spectrum of communication challenges. Adjacent to each verbal skill is an empty box, providing space for the user to write a detailed description of an appropriate situation for the skill’s application. This layout not only prompts the user to consider the proper context for each type of verbal exchange but also to reflect on the nuances of effective communication. By considering scenarios like “Telling your spouse they have hurt you” or “Disagreeing with someone’s idea,” individuals are guided to deliberate on the delicate balance of honesty, tact, and empathy necessary for constructive communication.
