Time:
The exercises in this module will take about 50 minutes to complete. In total, allowing for discussion, we recommend allowing 75 minutes to complete this module.

Aims:
• To encourage participants to think about different types of visual aids that can be used.
• To identify the pros and cons of using the various types and when they are most effective.

Group Size:
This module is suitable for use with groups of any size.

Useful For:
Staff at all levels.

You'll Need:
• A sheet of small sticky dots, with at least one dot missing from it.
• Flipchart paper, colourful pens and plenty of post-it notes.
• A piece of string or rope that is approximately 4 metres long.

Notes:
You will need a clear space in which to lay out your ‘Visual Aid Attitudes Spectrum’ and for participants to move along it.

We also recommend laying out fiddle toys for participants to use before they arrive, especially if it is part of Train the Trainer training.

It would also be beneficial to have relevant training posters around the room. Full and Pro members will be able to download a selection of posters from Trainers’ Library.
