Have a Guess - Free Training Energiser
Have a Guess - Free Training Energiser is a structured group exercise for closure and transfer: it helps participants close the session and carry learning into the next action.
How to run it
- pieces of blank paper for each participant
- Give each participant 2 blank pieces of paper.
- Tell participants that you want them to think of two things they will do differently as a result of attending the training session. Then ask them to write one of these points on each piece of paper.
- Ask participants to fold their 2 pieces of paper and give them to you.
- Ask each participant to guess how many other participants have written similar points to their own and make a note of their guess.
- Now return 2 pieces of paper to each participant. Hopefully they will not get their own back but it does not matter if this happens.
- Ask one participant to read out what is on one of the pieces of paper they now hold. Note this on a flip chart.
