High dispersion spectra have been obtained in order to study the activity level of ten barium stars by means of the Ca ii H and K emission flux, looking for a relation between barium intensity index and activity. Absolute magnitudes obtained from the Wilson-Bappu relationship disagree, in some cases, with the magnitudes computed from parallaxes, but this fact is not due to barium nature. Total emission fluxes, F(H + K) or RHK index, plotted versus effective temperature show a distribution similar to that of cool giant stars. The asymmetry of K emission line, [F(K2v)/F(K2r)] has been analyzed in relation with effective temperature, in this sense barium stars behave as expected of late-type giants with the only exception of two stars.
