TRAIN THE TRAINER SERIES

Using Activities to Make Training Fun Printable PDF

Most people have been at a party or some other social occasion where someone has told an inappropriate joke and ruined the mood (at least temporarily). Likewise, we’ve all been somewhere where the class clown is able to lighten the mood and help people have fun.

The good news is that humor can help you make your training sessions just as engaging as those fun social occasions. Even better, you don’t need to be the class clown or an award winning comedian to do it. This one-day workshop will help you identify what kind of humor you can bring to the classroom, and how games can help you engage your participants.

Learning Objectives:

• To understand when and how to use humour in the classroom.
• To establish credibility even when an activity goes badly.
• Participants will learn how to adapt a game or activity to fit almost any scenario.
