SCRAMBLED WORDS
Lecture
There are 6 types of personal communicators.
1. SPEAKERS and 2. LISTENERS (verbal)
3. WRITERS and 4. READERS (written)
5. ACTORS and 6. OBSERVERS (nonverbal)
Communication is a two-way activity and cannot be completed alone. Each type of
communication requires another person in order to practice certain skills for successful
communication. Some of these skills will be learned during this unit of study.
Preparation
Make cards for the scrambled words game. Write each letter in a large, readable size. Cut the
letters apart so they form letter squares. Laminate them for repeated use. Be sure to write each
word on a different piece of paper—this will prevent the students or you from mixing up the
letter combinations. Here’s a list of the words for the cards.

Activity
Divide the class into six groups and give each group one of the communicator types words to
unscramble. When each group finishes, have them display their words on the chalkboard or
bulletin board.
