Remember Remember - Free Training Energiser - Trainer Bubble
Explain to participants that you are going to show them a slide containing lots of words relating to the training topic you have been working on.
How to run it
- Explain to participants that you are going to show them a slide containing lots of words relating to the training topic you have been working on. You will only show this slide for 1 minute and they must try and remember as many of the words as possible (no writing down allowed).
- Show the slide for 1 minute and then hide it.
- Ask participants to write down as many words they can remember as possible.
- Ask participants to pair up (or small groups) to see how many words they can remember together. They will likely see that they recalled more words when they collaborated.
- Also ask if there were any words that participants ‘recalled’ but were not actually on the list. This can create a discussion around assumptions.
- Discuss why collaboration works better and other learning points.
