Summary/Abstract: The communication process is a vast subject, with great influences and implications on the society in which we live. Over time, there has been a growing need to educate ourselves in this regard, in order to face increasingly demanding situations both for our minds and our souls. The world into which today's children are born is no longer the same as that of yesterday's adults, because we are witnessing a continuous evolution of it. Children have more and more access to information, very easily, from a very young age, which makes them more and more prepared, possessing extraordinary cognitive equipment. But every advantage also implies a disadvantage. The disadvantage of this computerized and Internet-driven world is the dependence it creates, and often, without realizing it, we create another reality for our inner life, a virtual reality. Our friends are beautiful thanks to the megapixels and the costumes won during the games, a kind of avatars that we control as we want in our world. Unfortunately, reality beats the virtual and at some point, we have to escape from the computer which gives us so much happiness, pleasure, and go to school, to work, where, say the children of today, it's the big problem. The same problems appear, implicitly, in the educational environment. And one of the great difficulties that today's teacher must overcome is the lack of communication skills of his students. This work aims to present the challenges that appear in the classroom space, linked to the didactic communication process. It also aims to focus on some fun activities through which we think we can find solutions.
