Body Talking

About

CLICK HERE TO SEE THE STUDY GUIDE FOR THIS FILM

“Our bodies talk” is the message of this film. Presented entirely in picture and song it is intended to inspire and stimulate children to become more aware of their bodies as ‘communicators’. Posture, gesture and facial expression convey messages; arms, hands, faces, feet and bodies wave, shuffle, laugh and grimace in a range of emotions. The catchy tune (lyrics are provided) tells the audience what to look for when reading a person’s body language, and the film will help children, including the disabled, explore their own ways of communicating.

Part of THE VISUAL LITERACY SERIES.

Lyrics

You might be lonely -

feeling left out

You don't feel brave enough to shout:

"I need a friend!"
