Energisers to use your cards for in Motivation - Split your group into 3 or more teams and give each team a set of playing cards. Give written instruction to each team about the task they have to complete. On one instruction ask the team to sort the cards into sets of the same number, on another ask them to sort them into suits and on another ask them to sort them into suits in numerical order. Explain that they need to do the task as quickly as possible. Observe the reactions of the teams as some finish before others and de-brief bringing out the learning points about motivation, competition, team working etc.

OR Creative Thinking - Split the group into teams and get them to design a brand new card game for the other teams to play. Award points for creativity, clarity of explanation etc.

Plus - Train the Trainer - Give each delegate a set of cards and instructions for a card game. Their task is to teach other members of the group to play the game without referring to the instructions. The de-brief for this can also include reference to the different ways in which people take in information (i.e.. visual, auditory & kinaesthetic).
