Types of Activities
| Trainees expect that training will be stimulating, interesting, and yes, fun. That does not mean that you have to be a comedian (unless you are, of course, and are hosting a stand up comic’s training workshop), but it does obligate you to incorporate some activities into your training that helps to engage your learners.
· Keeps the day moving at a stimulating pace · Fun helps to bring people together and break down barriers · Laughter leads to an endorphin release, which is healthy · Improves retention of material by providing hands on application and practice |
The Power of Sticky Notes
| Sticky notes don’t just add color to your presentation; they can also add value as a visual aid. A few ideas for using sticky notes in a presentation:
· Write just one idea per note. · Write only one or two words per note. · If you are using sticky notes at the front of a room, make sure you use saturated color markers and write in the same size letters you use on your flip chart or whiteboard. · Place smaller sticky notes on participant tables so that they can use them to highlight memorable information throughout your workshop or use them as a bookmark. |
Using Group Work
| In order to make group activities work for you as a trainer, here are some tips:
· Provide the group with clear directions, points to discuss, or case studies to keep their work focused · Make sure that you have all the needed materials for group work to start on time and be most effective |
Circulate around the room, keeping groups on track and offering assistance or refocusing when needed
