For example, I used it where a percentage of the group was Native peoples who have been forced all their lives to live under United States labels (“South Dakota”… “Alaska”… etc). I’ve used this tool as a kind of diversity speak-out. No debrief is needed on this tool, although you might want to give people a chance to notice any feeling level expression. As you walk around, help the group notice any large clumps or small clumps, great time to acknowledge differences existing in the room. On the other hand, give enough instruction and direction so participants aren’t left completely baffled, as they try to figure out where is the Congo, where is Australia, etc.Īfter participants have arranged themselves, go around the room and give everyone a chance to give their name and where they are coming from. Don’t guide participants too much, since part of the challenge is for the group to begin to turn to each other as resources. Tell participants their task is to position themselves around the room based on where they are from. Explain that the ground in the room is something like a map of the world – you might have the group point out the directions (North/South/East/West). Physically place yourself in the centre of the room and declare, “Where I am standing is” – and finish with the location of the training (Bangkok, Philadelphia, Accra, etc). Have participants stand up and clear out any mess/chairs from the floor space.
Palm = what relationships and values do you consider as being very important to you?.In pairs describe something about yourselves using the palms of your hands. 1.5 Hand Prints – an alternative to paired interviews They return to the group to share all the information they have learnt from each other, each person introducing their partner. They go to some part of the room for about 5 minutes to find out 5 pieces of information about each other that they will be happy to share with the whole group. Members of the group pair up with someone they don’t know so well. The facilitator then asks each person where they are from and an image that they see ie: when they walk outside of their home. The facilitator then asks participants to position themselves where they feel represents where they are from. Then invite all people place themselves where they feel is relatively appropriate. Ask participants to point out North, South, East, West directions. To gauge where people are from (in the city, a state, the world) ask a person where they are from and place themselves in a position in the room.
This game can be used as an introductory session and or fit the theme of your workshop if you suggest a theme for the statements. The person who gets all nine boxes signed first wins. Each participant must get the signature of the person who matches the criteria for each square. Once everyone has finished writing their nine statements, ask the group to move around the room asking people questions to see if they match the statements on their grid. Ask them to write down (in any box they choose) a statement such as ‘has brown eyes’, ‘has grandchildren’, ‘lives in a city’. 1.2 Human BingoĪsk each participant to draw a grid with nine boxes. This game can be adapted to fit the theme of your workshop for example participants could introduce their name and a fact that they know about and issue/hope to change and so on. The game continues until each person is introduced.
They then introduce themselves for example, ‘Hello! My name is Nombeko and I love singing, this is Nicola and she loves chocolate’. They introduce themselves and say something that they enjoy or like doing. The person next to the facilitator goes next. Someone introduces themselves and saying one thing they enjoy for example, ‘Hello! My name is Nicola and I love to eat chocolate’. Introductory games 1.1 Remember the circleĪsk the group to sit in a circle.
