Welcome to Voice Power!

Welcome students and introduce the lesson. Emphasize that today's lesson will explore how our voice tone can change the meaning of what we say. Ask a few fun questions to get them thinking about tone (e.g., 'How does your voice sound when you're excited or sad?').

What is Tone of Voice?

Explain the concept of tone of voice using simple examples. Use visuals to show a friendly, excited tone versus a sad or serious tone. Ask students to share what emotions they feel through different voices.

Exploring Tones

Guide the students through an interactive activity using the Tone Exploration Activity Sheet. Prompt them to try out examples and identify different tones.

Voice Modulation Game

Introduce the interactive Voice Modulation Game. Explain the game rules and encourage participation. Highlight that changing the tone can completely change the meaning of a phrase.
