We learn more when we're having fun - that's why workshop games, exercises and icebreakers are so important! This 30 page .pdf eBook contains 21 1/2 workshop games, icebreakers and exercises for you to use in your workshops and seminars.

What you get:

• a step-by-step guide for each workshop game / exercise
• notes on who and what each workshop exercise is especially good for
• the equipment you'll need (if any!)
• ideas for great ways to adapt or extend the workshop exercises and games
• things to watch out for

• 12 main body workshop games to adapt and use
• 4 workshop exercises to neatly wrap-up a workshop too!

The workshop games and exercises cover a wide area including team-building and communication, listening, stress-management and overwhelm, self-esteem and to help people look within. In addition the games help build rapport and connection between attendees, boost energy and help attendees actively participate more in the workshop. Specifically for teamwork, there are exercises to dispel assumptions and stereotypes, discuss issues, learn more about each other and more!

"If an audience only listens, they take away 12% of your content. By making it more visual, you can increase audience comprehension and remembrance to 26%. But when you actually get them involved and responding, their understanding and 'take away' goes up to 51%." Mark Lavergne
