How to play Active Listening Builder
- Read the conversation moment.
- Choose a listening move that would help.
- Practise saying the response aloud with a partner.
Learning goal
Use attentive body language, turn-taking, clarifying questions, and summaries to communicate clearly.
Classroom setup
Plan about 5–12 min for this activity. It works best with pairs or whole class, with the game displayed where every learner can see the prompts. Before the first turn, review the controls and tell students how they should respond while another player is at the board. Listen for evidence of active listening and communication and turn-taking as students explain their choices.
Teacher tips
- Do not require eye contact; offer comfortable ways to show attention.
- Praise accurate listening more than fast answers.
- Use “might” when interpreting another person’s feelings.
