Learning Activities
What’s in This Chapter
• Twenty-eight learning activities to use in your workshops
• Refer to Chapter 15 for instructions to download full-size handouts
To help you facilitate adult learning, we have designed learning activities to deploy regularly throughout the workshop. Their purpose is to challenge and engage learners by breaking up monotony, providing stimulation for different types of learners, and actively helping them acquire new knowledge. Such activities enliven and invigorate the experience, and they help learning “stick.”
Each learning activity provides detailed information about learning objectives, materials required, timeframe, step-by-step instructions, and variations and debriefing questions if required. Follow the instructions in each learning activity to prepare your workshop agenda, identify and gather materials needed, and successfully guide learners through the activity. The experiences provided by the learning activities help support the topics covered in the workshop. See Chapter 15 for complete instructions on how to download the workshop support materials.
