Jolts! Activities to Wake Up and Engage Your Participants
John Wiley and Sons Ltd, April 2011, Pages: 272
In Jolts! Thiagi introduces readers to a brand-new set of powerful training activities specially designed to get participants to sit-up, listen, and learn. These interactive experiential games and activities give participants a powerful wake-up call, startling them into re-examining their assumptions and habitual practices, and encouraging self-reflection, problem solving, and fresh perspectives. The activities in Jolts! are interactive and emotionally charged--carefully chosen for their ability to make participants think, and think differently.
These versatile games work as traditional ice breakers, transitional activities between training modules, or afternoon pick-me-ups, as well more serious learning opportunities. Trainers can use Jolt activities to surprise and energize their participants, to challenge old assumptions, foster problem solving skills, or encourage new outlooks and points of view.
The book begins with a close look at what Jolts are, where to find them, and how to use them, followed by an expansive collection of 50+ never-before-published exercises from Thiagi's repertoire, along with essential guidance from the author on:
- When and how to employ a Jolt effectively
- Facilitating a discussion that helps participants get the most out of the activity
- Adapting activities for a particular lesson or audience
