Body Language Matching Game

Welcome to the Body Language Matching Game! This interactive activity is designed to test your understanding of nonverbal cues and how they relate to emotions and intentions. Body language is a powerful form of communication, often conveying messages and feelings without a single word spoken. In this game, you will be presented with descriptions of various body language cues, and your task is to match each description to the corresponding emotion or intention it represents.  Are you ready to test your body language decoding skills?
