PFP: December 2004
PFP: December 2004 is a team reflection exercise for reflection and learning: it helps participants reflect on experience and turn observations into learning.
How to run it
- I also do customer service training for government officials frequently. Good customer service training requires a great deal of role play, and games liven that up considerably.
- Thiagi: How did you get into designing and using games?
- Thiagi: What advice do you have to newcomers about designing and using games?
- Thiagi: Can you please describe a game that you frequently use.
- I slightly modified this to include several building objects that would not help the participants achieve objectives (such as string and leaves). I then created two teams of 6 each and assigned each person on the team a building material. I gave each team 15 minutes.
