Looking for a way to use the wonderful Metaboard? Try this energetic and very useful icebreaker. Put delegates into group of 3-5 people and give each one a different colour smelly marker. Put each group in front of a board covered with paper. When you give the sign, ask each individual, at the same time, to write whatever words come to mind when they hear the topic of the session or workshop. For example, Customer Service, Leadership, Interview skills etc. Give them a few minutes and then ask them to stop, everybody have a look at the boards and then introduce themselves to the group explaining why they wrote the words they did. As the Trainer – this can be especially useful to walk around and listen to get a good idea of the delegate’s thoughts on the workshop topic before you even start. Use this same exercise with the metacards… Give each person three round cards. Ask them what comes to mind when they hear the topic of the workshop. Ask them to write one word per card, and then use those cards to introduce themselves to the rest of the people on their table. Make a note of similarities and differences. Ask each table to choose three words from the table and then collect those cards and stick on a flip chart at the front of the room. Use these to look at the objectives and agenda for the day.

Product Description

The Postcard Activity Set comes complete with 40 postcards each one with an eclectic mix of different and interesting designs or images sized 13.8cm x 10.5cm. The cards have been specifically designed and selected by The Training Shop in order to raise interest, encourage discussions and evoke emotions.

The cards are neatly stored in a Training Shop cloth bag as pictured so you can transport them to workshops and they remain neat and tidy!

The set includes a 2-page laminated sheet with 10 activities to use with postcards within your training workshops.

Examples of the activities are:

As an icebreaker - spread the postcards out on a table and ask the delegates to come and pick a card each.

Ask them to choose a card that could describe something of interest to them - for example:

- how you felt when you woke up this morning

- how you feel about attending this course

- how yesterday went for you

- your last holiday

Alternatively you can make the questions more specific depending on the course:

- how you felt after your last presentation

- how you feel about giving feedback

- how you feel about being part of this project

- how you feel about the present appraisal system

OR try this one:

As a post course evaluation ask the delegates to pick a postcard, which answers questions such as:

- how the course has met your objectives

- a key learning point for you

- something that you would like to see changed about the course

These activities PLUS eight more invaluable training energisers.

Price incudes bag, 40 postcards and 2-page laminated activity sheet.
