Let’s talk about training, facilitation, and teambuilding motivation. Ever notice how much easier it is to focus when you’re genuinely excited or engaged? That’s the magic of play. A motivated learner is an engaged learner, and engagement is where real learning happens.
But what drives motivation? Internal and external factors play a role, and one of the most powerful external drivers is fun. That’s where game mechanics come into ‘play.’ 😄
3 Proven Ways Play Enhances Training & Teambuilding Motivation
- Gamification – Adds game-like elements to training sessions and teambuilding activities, like progress bars, points, and badges to boost engagement.
- Game-Based Learning – Uses actual games as teaching tools. Think chess to sharpen critical thinking—even if you get checkmated in under 10 moves. 😆
- Serious Games – Blends fun with real-world lessons. Imagine a scavenger hunt designed to enhance teamwork and communication skills in a teambuilding session.
Flip the Script: Play to Fuel Productivity in Training & Facilitation
We’ve all heard “Work hard, play hard,” but what if we flipped it? Instead of play being a reward for work, what if it was the fuel that drives it? Play can be the spark that makes training sessions more engaging, teambuilding more impactful, and facilitation more effective.
