Greetings!
With Summer in full swing, there's lots to do and see. We're having a ball putting together this issue of our newsletter to add to your summer fun - with a little education thrown in along the way. Read on for more news and tips!
Best Practice Tip for this Issue: Hints for Team Building Activities
Team Building activities can add fun to any session as well as reinforce important learning points. To ensure that your activity is productive, keep these guidelines in mind:
- State the purpose for doing the exercise in advance. Ensure that you select an exercise that is appropriate for the purpose.
- Be sure to give clear directions and an example if appropriate. Outline any exceptions to the directions, and ask for questions.
- Monitor the activity while it is in progress to ensure that objectives are being met.
Once the activity is complete, take several minutes for a debriefing session. Have the participants identify observations and lessons learned, and make sure they understand how their experience with this activity is applicable to their work environment or the issue under study.
For lots of other ways to build teamwork, consider our The Effective Facilitator course. Click here for more details or call (800) 824-2850.
