Kick up your training sessions a notch! Elaine Biech, training expert and author of Training for Dummies, challenged some of the world's best game designers to create never-before-seen games using popular training toys and tools from Trainer's Warehouse, the nation's leading supplier of learning resources. Whether you're a full-time workplace learning professional or occasional trainer,?this collection contains the most ingenious and inventive?collections of learning games. The collection uses a host of common and readily available tools and toys, from?throwables and tactiles, to white boards on a stick and noise-making boomwackers. This book will appeal to anyone who delivers training and education-and presenters, too-the games run the gamut from short energizers, icebreakers and closers, to more involved group?and team-building activities.
