To encourage some particular skills in the classroom, certain work activities drive them:
Four corners game: students must have a position (strongly agree, agree, disagree and disagree) on a topic and when exchanging group discuss it among themselves encouraging active listening, understanding, and verbal skills.
Who is who? To work self-knowledge and communication. Each one puts in a cup a piece of paper describing itself as it is. The rest of the companions must guess who it is.
They are two examples to work skills and abilities in the classroom. Encouraging teamwork, doing these tasks or promoting different projects in the subjects is beneficial not only in the educational stage but also in the future.
