Worksheet Description

This “Listening Skills” worksheet is a comprehensive educational resource designed to help students become more mindful about their physical presence and mental state when listening. At the top, there’s a space for the student’s name, which personalizes the activity. The worksheet features a series of prompts that encourage students to reflect on and articulate the positions and activities of different parts of their bodies when they are engaged in listening. By filling in the blanks for statements such as “When I am listening, my eyes are ___,” “My mouth is ___,” “My hands are ___,” and so on, students are prompted to consider the importance of body language and mental focus in the act of listening.

The second half of the worksheet shifts from reflection to visualization, asking students to draw a picture of someone who is listening. This creative task allows students to express their understanding of listening through art. The prompt “Draw a picture of someone who is listening” provides a hands-on activity that complements the introspective nature of the earlier questions. By engaging students in both written and visual expression, the worksheet effectively reinforces the multi-faceted nature of listening, covering physical stillness, mental attention, and the overall posture of an attentive listener. This integrated approach helps students to embody the concept of active listening both mentally and physically.
