Details

The best training and workplace games can engage and energize participants, clarify complex ideas, and help solidify concepts in participants' minds. Game design is both difficult and time consuming, however. Following up on their popular first collection of games, Jolts!, renowned trainer and game experts Thiagi and Tracy Tagliati offer More Jolts!, a collection of 50 ready-to-use jolts. Each jolt is presented in a standard format with clear explanation of how and when to use it. The book provides practical guidelines to help trainers capture participants' attention; smooth transitions; keep participants alert even after a break; tap the wisdom of the group; and break up lectures with relevant activities.
