how many ways can you communicate with your neighbor ?

Question

I have to write about this for class, but I need to be creative.

Answer 1

I always wave to the elderly couple across the street when I see them. Sometimes I take baked goods to them.

Answer 2

It depends on how close they live, yelling,screaming, bow and arrow , shotgun,rifle, cannon, throwing beer cans, or as a last resort, telephone. Sorry, I couldn't resist. What I think you are looking for is someone you can see? If so, then therre is verbal communication of course, but there are all kinds of non verbals. eye contact, body language eg.leaning forward or back, arms crossed or not,fidgeting or paying attention, hair twirling...they all have meaning as do tone of voice and the whole tempo of the conversation. A flirty convo. is much different in every way than say someone talking to their grandma.

Answer 3

Phone him and tell him to look at you at the window and while you're talking you can see each other!
or
write a message to him in the heading of a paper, make a plane with it and throw it to your neighbor garden, when he reds it he can answer you with the same plane, and you keep doing it that way until the "chat" is over
or
create a code language (with symbols instead of letters) and make a copy; write your message in a paper with that language, in a little cardboard box put the message and the copy of the language; go to your neighbor frontdoor, put the box in the floor, ring the bell, go running to your home, and you keep doing it until you are tired of it...
or
tell him to look at your window, and then do a charade to make him guess what are you trying to tell him, and he can answer the same way!
or
just yell to him while you are in your home and he is in his...


It's all I can Imagine right now... but it's creative!

Answer 4

You can tap on your roof with a broom stick , if they are upstairs.

You can knock on the wall.

You can offer them some of whatever you have too much of, fruit or whatever.

If you live in a home, you can go over and ask them how they like the neighborhood just to start conversation.
