Training games represent an important part of a trainer’s toolkit that allows the trainer to foster communication, enhance interaction, creativity and learning, and energize group formation.
Awareness Games are best used at the start of the session and should take no more than 5 - 15 minutes depending on the size of the group.
Mystery Figure - Three Question Game
Objectives
To increase awareness levels within the group.
Method
Participants are asked to guess the name of a mystery figure that the trainer has chosen.
During the exercise participants are allowed to ask only three questions in total which the trainer will respond with a ‘yes’ or ‘no’ answers.
Once a participant completes their three questions they are not allowed to ask any more questions and have to remain silent.
This game will encourage participants to be aware and take responsibility for their questioning and demonstrate the need for all the group to be working together.
