Text Together For Tone
Activity: Think of some words that describe tone of voice. For example, you might come up with happy, sarcastic, excited, frustrated, sad. Don’t tell each other!
Now you are going to text each other and see if you can guess the tone. Using the tools available, like fonts, emojis, or message effects, try to communicate the tone with a matter-of-fact sentence. Need some ideas? We came up with: “I wish I had that shirt,” or “I’m eating broccoli.”
