Time:
In total we estimate this exercise will take 90 minutes.
Aims: • To check understanding of UK workplace Equality Law and build awareness of the responsibilities all employees and managers have.
About
Time: The exercise in this module can be completed in about 60 minutes. In total, allowing for discussion, we recommend allowing about 90 minutes for this module.
Aims: • To check understanding of UK workplace Equality Law and build awareness of the responsibilities all employees and managers have.
Group Size: This module is suitable for use with groups of between between 8 and 12 participants.
Useful For: Everyone in the workplace – because everyone needs to be clear on what they can and can’t do. This is not a topic bound by status and participants will have the most fun from the game if there is a mix of roles, seniority and experience in each team. The game will be especially useful for managers and team leaders who are usually closest to managing diversity and equality issues and need to be clear on the law.
You'll Need: To prepare your chosen collaborative whiteboard or PowerPoint in advance with: • The ‘A Level Playing Field’ game board set as the background and locked. • 32 black counters. You’ll also need: • The Question and Answer handout (for the facilitator). • The spinner in Trainers’ Library, set up with the four corresponding question colours and two wild cards.
Notes: This exercise is suitable for use with groups of up to 12 participants. It’s run as a competitive game, which is a race to the finish and played in 4 teams with 2-3 players in each team. We do not recommend having teams with more than 3 participants. Most questions have multiple choice or yes/no answers. This means that the third team to have a go at a question is pretty much guaranteed to get a correct answer when the question comes round again. This keeps the overall time for the game within reasonable limits and adds to the fun, because of the danger of a team getting the answer wrong and allowing another team to get in with the right answer next time. The game is very easy to play. We suggest that you have a practice run beforehand to ensure you are clear on how it works. We recommend using Miro for this activity due to the functionality available, but it is possible to run the activity using other collaborative whiteboard solutions or PowerPoint, if preferred.
Remote/Virtual Delivery: Remote Delivery requires a system that as an absolute minimum provides the following functionality: • Face-to-face discussion. • Share screen. • Chat. • Share files. In addition, we strongly recommend using a system that provides for: • Polls/Quizzes (not required). • Breakout Rooms (not required). • Collaborative Whiteboard (recommended).

Aims: • To explore some of the challenges participants will face as a manager and how to approach them with the right balance of ethics and pragmatism.
Skills and Behaviours Tested: Leadership and management skills (especially when managing for the first time), communication, assertiveness, empathy and problem solving.
Group Size: We recommend a maximum of 12 participants for this exercise.
Useful For: Learners who are brand new managers (or very soon will be), particularly if they have been promoted from within the team.
You'll Need: To prepare your chosen collaborative whiteboard or PowerPoint in advance with: • The ‘At a Crossroads’ game board image set as the background and locked. • The car counter images (provided). • A set of 3 ‘sticky notes’ for each team labelled Diversion 1, Diversion 2 and Diversion 3 that will be placed to the right of the gameboard image. You’ll also need: • The Question and Suggested Answer handout (for the facilitator). • 60 Second Timer. • Facilitator Traffic Lights.
Notes: This exercise is suitable for use with groups of up to 12 participants. It is run as a competitive game, which is a race to the finish and played in 2-4 teams with 2-3 players in each team. We do not recommend having teams with more than 3 participants. All the scenarios contained in the handout are based on actual experiences faced by managers in their first year of managing a team. It is a particularly useful exercise for people who have been promoted from within the team to become the manager and who are struggling to adapt to their new role with people who were once their peers. We recommend using Miro for this activity due to the functionality available, but it is possible to run the activity using other collaborative whiteboard solutions or PowerPoint, if preferred.

I used this as part of a virtual first line management workshop towards the end of the day to review the content around time management, delegation, motivation, team working and leadership. The learners firstly approached it as team members, however with encouragement began to tackle the tasks as managers. It led to a great debrief and discussion about their transition into management and how they have to approach things differently. Excellent and the learners loved it.

I've used this excellent activity many times and it has always received excellent feedback. It's quite tough so I'm tempted to give the delegates slightly longer than the suggested time to give them a better chance of successfully completing the treasure hunt. It's a fantastic way of replicating a face-to-face treasure hunt remotely and really brings colleagues together who are located throughout the country!

This is a great group activity and have recently used it to support collaborative working. So I don't mention a prize, and send the groups into their breakouts but request one member of each team join me for a quick meeting after about 10 minutes to see how things are going? Groups often struggle as they don't want to share anything with the other teams, but I check they've found the 0 clues and understood what that means and how many clues they've solved. I then ask how confident they are that they will achieve the goal within the timescales, and most groups say they'd like more time, but that's not possible. So, I suggest that maybe they might like to work together and pool their resources and work collaboratively to find the brooch. I send team members back to their groups to discuss and it's great to pop into the breakouts and listen to the discussions and responses to the suggestion of collaboration.
It doesn't matter if the groups do join or not, although the groups that do collaborate tend to get the answers more quickly, the value comes in the discussion of how we feel about sharing ideas and working with others. After all, we all have the same goal. We've had some great lessons learned that participants say are so reflective of the work environment, so a great learning opportunity.
PS I've done this with a group of global participants so if there could be a few less UK based questions it would be helpful. Still 5 * for me though. Thank you.

I used Jill Fruggle's Treasure as part of a team building session yesterday. It went like a dream and the group really got into and said how much they enjoyed it. The technology was brilliant and it really helped the team to bond, and we had some conversations afterwards about effective team work and communication.
Thank you for designing it.

You'll Need: • To customise the free spinner provided on Trainers’ Library. • A timer/stopwatch to keep track of time. (There is a countdown timer available in Trainers’ Library.)
Notes: This exercise has been designed to look at teamwork in a general sense and to provide an opportunity to think about what happens to teamwork when trust is impaired or missing. The first 10 minutes, before the exercise begins, should be used to give the teams a chance to clarify their understanding of the rules, and begin thinking about their strategy. In this module we’ve used a fictional currency that consists of Unums and Centums. This means the exercise can be used in any country, and with international groups, without further adaptation. (100 Unum = 1 Centum.)

Aims: • To test participants’ planning and communication skills. • To demonstrate the importance of listening and using summary and clarification to check understanding. • To consider what makes communication effective and the dangers of getting it wrong. • To energise a group of participants.
Group Size: This module can be used with groups of up to 12 participants. It’s not suitable for 1-1 training.
Useful For: Staff at all levels.
You'll Need: • The Team Brief and appropriate Activity Links together with your unique PIN ready to send to the Team Leaders (Shepherds).
Notes: The timings shown above are based on giving the team(s) one attempt to complete a route around the course. However, you might like to give teams the opportunity to review their performance and have another go, either immediately, or later in the training, particularly if you want to link this activity to continuous improvement. For each additional attempt, allow a further 30 minutes. We’ve provided three different Route Maps for this activity, each of which is progressively more difficult. If you plan on giving participants just one attempt to complete the task, we recommend using Route 1/Activity Link 1 (the simplest) or Route 2 on Activity Link 2. If teams will have more than one opportunity to attempt the challenge, use a progressively difficult map in each subsequent round. You might like to have small prizes for the winning/successful teams.
Remote/Virtual Delivery: Remote Delivery requires a system that as an absolute minimum provides the following functionality: • Face-to-face discussion. • Share screen. • Chat. • Share files. In addition, we strongly recommend using a system that provides for: • Breakout Rooms (required for larger groups). • The system you use must also give participants the ability to annotate a file shared on screen with a ‘Stamp’, similar to that provided in Zoom.
Special Note of Thanks: We would like to thank our customers, Bharti Dekate and the team at We Are Ideas Consulting in Mumbai, India for the enormous help and generosity in designing this remote delivery version of Glasstap Sheep Trials.

This is a very interesting training session however I would say you need some support when it comes to facilitating this online. There are a few parts where I struggled to do it by myself. Really enjoyed the take away though

We ran this activity as a remote team leader session and the set up took more time than expected. It took quite a lot of facilitation to get the break out rooms working as teams. Overall very much enjoyed as a task as created some great discussion about the importance of communication and how we can test and learn

Skills and Behaviours Tested: Teamwork, collaboration, leadership, avoiding assumptions and problem solving.
Group Size: A minimum of 2 and a maximum of 8 participants are required for this exercise.
Useful For: Staff at all levels.
You'll Need: To prepare your chosen collaborative whiteboard or PowerPoint in advance with: • The ‘The Wheel’ game board image set as the background and locked. • A simple counter shape that participants can move around. • The Dice app if using Miro or the spinner from Trainers’ Library set up as a dice. • Prizes. (Virtual prizes (pictures) or physical prizes – for example, a pile of wrapped sweets, or mini chocolate bars that you can send to winning participants after the event.)If playing the alternative version of the game, you’ll need to create up to a maximum of 8 counters.
Notes: This module provides a superb introduction to any training around teamwork and co-operation/collaboration and has been used successfully with participants at all levels within an organisation, from junior clerical staff to directors. It also provides an ideal introduction to training around the service chain, and internal customer care. We recommend using Miro for this activity due to the functionality available, but it is possible to run the activity using other collaborative whiteboard solutions or PowerPoint if preferred. Whatever your chosen solution, you’ll need to ‘roll’ the dice for participants during the game.
Remote/Virtual Delivery: Remote Delivery requires a system that as an absolute minimum provides the following functionality: • Face-to-face discussion. • Share screen. • Chat. • Share files.
