Games for attitude

The one who figures out exits and the one that remains still the end loses the game. Each participant will be given a balloon and a paper strip. They would write a question on the slip, place it in their balloon, blow it and tie it up. Everyone will do the same and hit their balloons into the air. After a few seconds, everyone will grab one balloon and sit in a circle.

In their respective balloons, there would be a question. Each participant will have to pop the balloon and answer the question that is written on their slip. Objective: Balloon questions allows teams to learn more about other each other in a fun and interactive way. Be sure to keep the original sculpture in a place that is at an equal distance from all the teams. Ask each team to send a team member to look at the original sculpture at the same time and they return back to their respective teams to describe it to their team in 25 seconds.

Continue this pattern until one of the teams successfully duplicates the original sculpture. Objective: The key objective of this game is to help teams learn to solve problems together. Give each team an uncooked egg and put all the office supplies in a pile.

Give everyone minutes to use the given supplies and build a contraption around the egg that will keep the egg from dropping or breaking. Need ideas for supplies? Consider supplies like tape, pencils, straws, plastic utensils, packing material, newspapers, rubber bands, etc.

Objective: The game focuses on highlighting the importance of team and teamwork. Create a finish line using chalk, masking tape or rope. Ask all the participants to reach the finish line at the same time for the photo finish moment. To make this game successful, the participants will have to coordinate with each other.

For added difficulty level, you can ask the participants to walk or run across the finish line in photo finish style. Objective: Photo finish is an amazing game for boosting communication and coordination in teams. Have all the participants stand in a circle holding a piece of the rope. After that, instruct them to put on the blindfold and set the rope on the floor. Have everyone take a walk away from the circle, come back and try to form a square with the rope without removing their blindfolds.

If you want to raise the difficulty level of the game, instruct all the participants to stay silent throughout the game. Everyone had good examples of when they have let their emotions get the better of them in a work situation, and this part of the session provided fun, lots of agreement and uncovered plenty of shared experiences.

Moving into the section on dealing with emotions, we found that although many seem like common sense, we dont often delpoy them. Minority Reports - Attitudes, Behaviours and Beliefs.

Reviews I approached this exercise by using the term exclusion instead of minority, which works well when looking at diversity awareness as minority can be a very subjective term.

It is a quick and easy activity to get people talking and focus peoples minds Mike Taylor rated this item with 4 stars. The Stretch Zone and Resilience. Reviews This DVD has proven to be popular with customer service teams in manufacturing and in engineering sectors. It is useful to see how universal our perception of poor customer service is, whether it is in a coffee shop or a clothes shop.

The gentle humour of the film fits the topic and serves as a good icebreaker, especially to encourage less confident participants to contribute their opinions or horror stories on poor customer service and how this could be put right.
