Say It Back

Ages 8–11 · 10 minutes · You’ll need: Nothing

Real listening means trying to understand, not waiting for your turn to talk. Practise saying back what you heard.

From our book Steady, chapter 8: Communication and relationships.

How it works

One person talks for a minute. The other says back what they heard, and the feeling behind it, before replying.
