I love how using body language to engage students can also teach them powerful skills about communication in general. They can easily learn to read a persons body language in their futures.

Sometimes I think my body language can intimidate or make students feel that I am stand-offish. This is definitely something to consider and work on.
The fingers conducts their learning, by emphasizing points or directing ideas out from him into them. He also uses them to indicate things like thinking by pointing at his head.
By using multiple phyical gestures he enter's the student personal space without having to be physically near them.

The way this teacher interacts and speaks to the children is something that can be used in any age group. I really liked the hand movements this teacher used because he is using those motions in a way to relate to what he is saying. His body language is inviting and also allows the students to feel like he is really listening to them when he “holds onto” their ideas. He is very attuned to the student's ideas and their participation as well as the students are paying attention to the teacher and lesson.
