The Addiee Game
Time Allowance: 60 Minutes
Equipment Needed: Flip Chart, Paper, Markers
Make up a reasonable problem scenario for your organization where people need to get introduced (i.e., "The manufacturing department is bringing in 20 temporaries to help with the peak season. They want us to build a short activity that will allow the permanent employees to meet and introduce themselves to the temporaries.) Break the group into small teams. Have them discuss and create a solution:
- Analyze the problem -- Is it a training problem? If they decide that it is not a training problem, then remind them that most problems can be solved by following an ADDLE type approach. Perform a short task analysis -- how do people get to know each other?
- Design the activity -- Develop objectives, sequence.
- Develop the activity -- Outline how they will perform the activity and trial it.
- Implement -- Have each small team, in turn, introduce themselves in front of the group using the activity they created.
- Evaluate -- Give prizes to the most original, funniest, etc. by having the group vote.
This activity allows them to team about each others, problem-solving styles and instructional development methods. It also introduces the members to each other. This method can also be used to introduce the ADDLE method to new trainers.
