PERSONALITY DEVELOPMENT GAMES

PERSONALITY DEVELOPMENT GAMES

Personality development games are a means to practise the subject-matter of a

personality development training in an intensive and realistic manner. Actually it

is a kind of role-playing game. The participants form the team of a institution

and they take all associated decisions. They may for instance decide on the

mission and goal of their team..

The Personality development Game was built to allow managers that hands-on

opportunity to practice strategies in a fun, friendly, competitive, and enjoyable

atmosphere. The Personality development Game sharpens skills around coaching

for a specific performance gap, a values misalignment, and employee

development. The "friendly competition" allows for individual and team winners.

An environment where everybody has the guts to experiment with his/her new

skills. Yes, we even encourage to test the limits and take some calculated risks.

Knowing your own limitations and those of your environment makes it possible

to take your decisions in a more responsible manner. This will eventually result in

a more creative working method, pro-active behaviour, improved cooperation

and a stronger team spirit.

The game focusses on practising these skills in a playful manner. By doing,

experimenting and experiencing, such skills are acquired in a more lasting

manner than with a classical training. Adaptations to this concept and

programming to your own situation are of course possible.

also more complex team building exercises that are composed of multiple exercises such as ropes

courses, corporate drumming and exercises that last over several days. The purpose of team building

exercises is to assist teams in becoming cohesive units of individuals that can effectively work together

to complete tasks.

CREATIVITY SKILLS

GAME 2: “SEA IF WE CAN FIND THE ERRORS”

PURPOSE: To provide an exercise that challenges participants to think creatively.


THE EXERCISE IN ACTION: Allow people to work individually to find the errors in following

statement.

“You may not belief that there are six errers in this short paragraph.

Studi the paragraph carefully. You can reed it as many times as

necessary. Don’t give up too easily. See if you can find all of them”

Most participants will find five but few will ever find the sixth.The sixth is simply that there are only

five errors(so its an error to say there are six).The exercise points out how we often tink inflexibly and

fail to consider all the options when problem solving.

GAME 3: PLAYING THE NUMBERS

PURPOSE: To engage participants in a creative exercise after a break or lunch.


THE EXERCISE IN ACTION: Here’s a quick exercise you can use after lunch or break.Place these

numbers on a chart or white board.

8, 11, 15, 5, 14, 1, 7, 6, 10, 13, 3, 12, 2

Tell the participants, ”You are seeing all the numbers from 1 to 15 with the exception of 4 and

9.Your task is to decide why the numbers are arranged in this sequence, then put the missing

numbers in their proper places”

GAME 4: ”30 SECONDS”

PURPOSE: To quickly energize and challenge participants.

TIME REQUIRED: 30 seconds for each individual.

THE EXERCISE IN ACTION: Here the trainer chooses a topic and challenges participants to list as

many titles as they can from this category. For example, things used in cooking, type of fruits,

vegetables etc.. Highest total achieved by the person will be consider as the winner.

GAME 4: INTERVIEWS

PURPOSE: To demonstrate the dynamics of listening and memory skills.

TIME REQUIRED: 10 to 15 minutes

THE EXERCISE IN ACTION: Here one person is interviewed for five minutes on a specific topic by a

team of three people, while another team of three listens to the questions and answers. At the end of the

time, the “listening” team must recap what the interviewee has said in three sentences. The team asking

the questions scores the other team on the accuracy of its recap. Teams are then rotated so that the

listeners become the interviews, and new interviewees and topics are chosen. The team with the highest

total wins.

GAME 5: THE NAME GAME

PURPOSE: To get small groups thinking together and creatively solving tough problems.


MATERIALS REQUIRED: A flip chart with the alphabet displayed vertically in advance by the trainer.


Display a prepared flipchart page with the alphabet written vertically by a trainer. Ask the participants to

share a random sample sentence from a news paper or other piece of written material and spells out the

sentence vertically next to the alphabet, creating random pairs of letters, stopping the process when 26th

letter of the sentence matches the letter “z”. The groups are then asked to come up wit names of famous

people that match the random initials.

GAME 7: TEAM ROLE PLAYS

PURPOSE: To introduce a sense of team work into role plays



Divide the participants into two groups of five participants each. Group A members are all given the first

half of a role play to read, and Group B members are given the other half of the same role play. One

manager from each sits at a desk or table and begins the role play, with the other four managers from

each group lined up behind that person.

At any point, the participant from either team in the role plays can reach behind and touch any of the

other participants who are standing behind them. At that point, the touched team member steps forward

and continues the role play. The exercise is effective because all participants need to stay attentive so

that they are prepared to jump in.

GAME 8: ICE BREAKERS

Icebreakers can play an important role in helping young people integrate and

connect with one another in a group environment. Icebreakers can also enhance

your teaching by helping to stimulate cooperation and participation. They can

provide positive momentum for small group study and discussion by:

Helping a new group get to know one another.
