At the end of the training program or to conclude each module or unit of the course content, split participants into teams of two and challenge each team to come up with a summary of the content covered in only characters. Challenge your class to list three sports which the winning player goes backward They are Rowing, backstroke, swimming and tug-of-war.
The amount of information we give others while communicating with them, can really have an impact on the result of the communication. This quick fun energizer can make that point crystal clear. Tell your class that you will tell them a short story and then ask them one question to see how good they were paying attention. You are driving downtown and suddenly you get a call to go pick up a customer from one of the big hotels in the middle of the city.
You were only two blocks away so you get there very quickly and picked up the customer who was standing in front of the hotel. He wants to do some sightseeing today and asks you to recommend places he can go to. You recommend a few places and recommended to start with the museum downtown first and he asked you to take him there. He also asked if you were available to show him around town for the rest of the day. On the way to the museum, your customer receives a call on his cell phone.
After the museum, your two passengers asked you to recommend a place where they can try the local food. They loved the food and after the meal they said they actually ate too much and both agreed that they were too tired now and would prefer to go back to the hotel and probably continue sightseeing tomorrow.
You took them back to the hotel and gave them your direct cell phone number to call you directly tomorrow if they decide to continue with the sightseeing tour.
When you have finished the story ask participants this one question: what was the name of the taxi driver? To ensure your message is communicated clearly, stick to the essential facts. Studi the paragraph carefuly. You can reed it as many times as necessary. Don't give up too easily. See if you can find all of them. Write the previous paragraph on a slide or a flip chart and challenge participants to find all 6. Most participants will find five but few will ever find the sixth. The exercise points out how we often think inflexibly and fail to consider all the options when problem solving.
The team that comes up with the longer list in 45 seconds wins. Add all questions to a bucket or box and Throughout the session, pass around the questions bucket and ask participants to pull out a random question and answer it. Getting participants honest feedback is a challenge for every trainer, add a twist of fun by turning it into a snowball fight by following these instructions:.
Also confirm that input from all participants will remain anonymous so they can write whatever they wish. Ask each participant to list two columns on a sheet of paper one represents the positive things about the training and the other for things that need improvement.
This activity is a lot of fun, and it can be done either virtually or as an energizer in face-to-face soft skills or interpersonal skills training. This technique is a good one to use while you are lecturing. Simply leave blanks in your workbook or pass out worksheets with blanks for participants to fill in as you lecture.
After a lecture segment, hand out a crossword puzzle quiz to each participant. Wait an appropriate amount of time for participants to complete the puzzle. Consider giving a prize for the first correctly completed puzzle. To ensure participation or if you have a mixed group, you may want to have participants complete this activity in groups or pairs.
You can find worksheet generators, fill in the blank, etc. In this activity, you give each participant either a question or its corresponding answer on an index card. Hand them out randomly. Next, instruct participants to stand up, move around, and find the person holding the matching question or answer. To add variety to your lecture modules, divide your participants into groups of 3 to 5 people.
Pass out 2 to 3 pages of information to each. Finally, let each group present the material. You can then add any needed information. This works well with non-technical topics. When teaching a process, hand out index cards with a step of the process to each participant. Next, ask the participants to get themselves in order from beginning to end. Once they are in line, review each step of the process and make any adjustments that are needed.
If the group is large, use a piece of cardstock with a keyword printed on the front and select a small number of people to complete the exercise in front of everyone else. The cardstock with the keyword will help those in the audience to stay involved in the process. Post four flipcharts around the room, each with a different question.
Divide your class into four groups. Instruct each group to stand next to one of the flipcharts. Next, give each a different colored marker and five minutes to answer their question.
When the time is up, the groups rotate to the next question and add any additional information to the next chart with their colored marker. This activity will provide a physical pattern interruption and cut down on duplicate answers. This exercise is similar to Four Questions; however, instead of posting questions on the flipcharts, you list topics covered in your lecture. You then instruct participants to go stand next to the chart that lists the topic they find most difficult.
Once at the appropriate chart, ask the participants to write down what is particularly difficult. When they are done, instruct them to sit down. Then go through each chart clarifying and reviewing areas of difficulty. This activity has the added benefit of telling you where your teaching is effective and where roadblocks are popping up. A picture is worth a thousand words.
A demonstration or a video is a worth a million. To illustrate your points, consider adding a demonstration or video segment where appropriate. Allow participants to take part in the demonstration. At the very least, have them answer questions about the demonstration or video seen. List six to seven uses for the information you have provided during your lecture on separate pieces of flipchart paper. Hang them around the room.
Next, ask participants to stand next to the use they think is most applicable to them. Have them list why that is on the paper. Review the responses. Then, have them choose the use that is least applicable to them and repeat the exercise. During the second part, you can clarify misconceptions or gaps in learning regarding why a fact or application might be valuable.
Divide participants into groups of 4 to 7 people. Pass out an index card to each group. Have them summarize the information you shared during your lecture on the card. Review each of the summaries when all groups are done. Write out a composite on a whiteboard, flipchart sheet, or overhead projector transparency and have the class copy it down in their notes.
When using a workbook, leave space for this information. Before the lecture begins, pass out a pretest to each participant. Have them answer the questions to the best of their ability. The workbook is really clear, and participants liked it.
The presentation is not boring, or a pile of words. They are designed with the audience in mind. The supporting materials are complete to implement a full training program.
