Show Style Games for Teams

There are two types of benefits that come from a training game, one is direct, and the other indirect. The direct benefit is the insight, or lesson, that participants learn from the game. The lessons of most training games are usually very apparent and easy to grasp. But people will remember a lesson they learned by participating in an activity or game much longer than one they learned by passively reading a PowerPoint slide.

We also get an indirect benefit from playing training games.

One of the early games, that wasn’t even a training game, I participated in was a simple volleyball game we played as part of a day-long team building retreat. We had a lot of fun playing the game for about an hour. We changed positions, team formations, roles, and so on. The retreat included many other topics and exercises. But the fun we had playing volleyball caused the dozen or so who played to laugh, cry, jump, fall, lose, and win together, and get to know each other personally. The result was that, for the next few years, whenever I needed help from a department where a team member worked I'd just call the person and get great help. I did the same for them.

Would you want any better business results from a team building retreat?

The Ice Breaker & Team Builder Edition CD contains two popular sets of Excel games - Ice Breakers and Team Building - and several PowerPoint slide show games designed to spice up any event.

The Ice Breaker Games: What a fantastic way to melt those icy first meeting moments and get your program off to a great start. Excel TGI Ice Breaker is a great way to have all of your team or group participants introduce themselves in a meeting. It works well for establish teams learning a bit more about one another, or for new group introductions.

Here are some of the key features:

1. Each person’s name flashes on screen with a fun introductory question for them to answer.
a. For example: Robin Smith, say your name, and where you went on your last vacation and what you did.
b. Or Barry Jones, say your name, and tell us what you like best about Robin Smith.
2. You input the group names, and the time they have to answer the introductory question on the set up screen prior to the exercise beginning.
3. An "On Screen Timer" ticks off the seconds as each person gives their introduction and answers the question.
