Laugh, learn, and become better communicators—together!

Body Language Match-Up is an easy-to-play game that sparks natural conversations about how nonverbal cues impact communication. Research shows that when body language doesn’t match words, listeners pay more attention to body language—making this game a powerful way to build awareness and skills.

Created by therapists, this interactive matching game is perfect for speech therapy, occupational therapy, psychology, classrooms, camps, and social skills groups. Players practice aligning words and actions while gaining confidence for real-life social situations.

Key Features:

• Super Easy to Play: Just like traditional matching—collect the most pairs to win!

• Instant Feedback: Flip a SAY IT card and a DO IT card. Perform both, then let others decide if your words and body language match.

• Flexible Playtime: Short on time? Play with fewer pairs. Want more? Use the whole deck!

• Built-In Learning: Colorful teaching cards introduce OPEN vs. CLOSED body language signals before play begins.

• Therapist-Created & Approved: Developed by therapists Rebekah and Leigh to make learning body language fun and effective.
