Using Activities to Make Training Fun Training

Fully Customisable

Top description Most people have been at a party or some other social occasion where someone has told an inappropriate joke and ruined the mood (at least temporarily). Likewise, we’ve all been somewhere where the class clown is able to lighten the mood and help people have fun.

The good news is that humor can help make training sessions just as engaging as those fun social occasions. Even better, trainers don’t need to be the class clown or an award winning comedian to do it. Note: this is the info found at the top of each Velsoft site. For example: click here

Target Audience

This one-day workshop will help participants identify what kind of humor they can bring to the classroom, and how games can help them engage their participants.

This one-day workshop will also help you teach participants how to:
- Understand how training can include the use of humor and games
- Use different types of games
- Identify methods to elicit participant buy-in
- Use humor principles in adult learning
- Troubleshoot when games go badly
- Develop their own games

We recommend that participants complete a three day train-the-trainer course prior to this program, such as our Practical Trainer program.

Prerequisites

No previous experience or training is required, though students should possess basic numeracy and literacy and ideally have a basic understanding of using computers and software applications, such as Microsoft Word.

Using Activities to Make Training Fun Training Outline

Introduction and Course Overview You will spend the first part of the day getting to know participants and discussing what will take place during the workshop. Students will also have an opportunity to identify their personal learning objectives.

Let's Have Some Fun We will begin the day with a brief review of the learning cycle and adult learning principles. We will also discuss the value of games in training. Participants will then have an opportunity to share their favorite training game.

Buy-in! During this session, we will discuss three things that can help the participants see the value of training games. We will also discuss some great game experiences and some games that flopped, and what we can take away from these lessons.

Choosing the Right Game Preparation is key to the success of any trainer. This session will discuss some different types of games and activities. We'll also talk about how to deal with reluctant participants.

When Games Go Badly Despite our best intentions and planning, sometimes a game won't work. We will discuss how to anticipate, avoid, and deal with problems.

Using Humor in Training It's not hard to be funny; just be CREATIF! We will explore each letter of this acronym during this session.

Wavy Lines To break the day up and illustrate some of our key points, participants will take part in a quick, fun energizer.

Quick and Easy Games Participants will take part in three easy games that can be adapted for many situations. Then, they will discuss the games from a trainer's perspective.

Create a Game To wrap up the day, participants will work in small groups to create their own game.

Workshop Wrap-Up At the end of the day, students will have an opportunity to ask questions and fill out an action plan.
