Did you know you can communicate without using your mouth? Its true, in fact you're talking without using your mouth every day. You tell your friends how you feel about how things taste, smell and sound like before you even think to use your words. Your family can tell what you're thinking just by looking at you, and they're probably pretty good at it by now. You're probably wondering what on earth I'm talking about! I'm talking about the secret language of body language. 
Body language is communicating or talking without using words. It can be just by using your face by smiling, frowning, laughing, squinting your eyes, puckering your lips or even sticking your tongue out!! You can also use body language by well, using your body. You can do this by folding your arms, stomping your feet or dancing!! There are a lot of ways to talk with your body and not your words. You do it every day to express yourself and let others know what you think about something. Detectives in the police force use it to tell what bad guys are thinking or hiding, just like your parents do for you, and they're pretty good at it too. They both look to see what your body has to say during interrogation, which is when you get asked questions and the person asking has to decide if you're telling the truth or not. There are good and bad ways you use body language, and they have good and bad effects on you. Lets see how you use body language and how cops use it to catch the bad guys.

Most of the time you don't even know you are using your body to communicate and it doesn't need you permission. Sometimes your body will even start to talk without you wanting it to. Lets say Mr. Gregory Walrus Jr. is being interrogated by officer Mark Doodlesmucker for stealing all the apple suckers from the store, Mr. Walrus doesn't want to get caught because he loves apples but he is afraid of officer Doodlesmucker. Mr. Walrus is sweating and he keeps playing with his fingers. This is a form of body language, sometimes when you're nervous you play with your fingers or can't look someone in the eye if you know you're not telling the truth and if you're really nervous you might even start to sweat! These types of body language are because of anxiety. Anxiety is when you're really nervous or excited in a way that isn't always good, it can make you feel a little sick. You might get anxiety on the first day of school when you're about to be dropped of by one of your parents into a place with a bunch of smelly kids who you don't know. I know this used to make me nervous! Maybe you are on a sports team and you get nervous right before its your turn to race or take the ball, you might breath heavy and start sweating, this is your body telling you that you are nervous. You might be so nervous that your arms and legs get shaky and you fall or run slow! These types of body language are something you do without even noticing it and if it might help officer Doodlesmucker catch Mr. Walrus.
There are ways that you can tell your friends how you feel without talking, for example lets say you are coloring with an orange crayon, AND OF COURSE ORANGE IS YOU'RE FAVORITE COLOR BECAUSE ITS AWESOME. So your buddy next to you asks you if its your favorite color, and duhhh it is buddy! But you don't want to say all of those stinky words so you nod your head instead. This is like another way to say "YES!" or "Okay" and you don't even have to open your mouth! Now lets say you're listening to you favorite song with your mate and you love the song so much that you just cant explain it! So you get the wiggles and just have to start dancing and throw your arms in the air like you just don't care! This is another way you can express that you really like a song and its really fun too!!!
Now you know that you talk with your body every day. You can dance with your friends who all like the song on the radio. You can color everything orange and nod when someone asks if you did it. Maybe one of the best ways to tell someone something without using words is to tell someone you love them by giving them a hug. So when bad guys know that their bodies will tell the cops the truth and they just give up and tell the truth, maybe they can get a hug too.
