hi 😊 I need help, how can I teach children about human resources, natural resources and capital resources through games✨

Hi everyone! I've really been diving into anything I can regarding facilitation. Unfortunately nobody is commenting on any of my posts and therefore I can't watch any of the trainings in this community. Can someone just say hi and welcome LOL I'm not usually this needy but, I need you LOL Thanks!

Hi everyone! Are there any other education/pedagogy specialists here? I'm working with a team of educators and an amazing school in the US to redefine their pedagogy and approach to teaching that reflects the needs of today's students. I am looking to take my work to other schools and perhaps expand our team of experts. I look forward to hearing from you.

Hello everyone, I'm reaching out to ask for your help. I work at a software engineering course, and we're currently facing a significant dropout problem. Some students drop out because they struggle to keep up with the challenging technical content, while others lose interest and shift their focus to different priorities. I'd love to organize a workshop to generate ideas on how we can better support our students and reduce these dropout rates. However, I'm looking for advice on how to structure this workshop to ensure it's effective and engaging. Any insights, resources, or examples of similar workshops you've facilitated would be greatly appreciated! Thank you so much in advance!

Are you looking for a fun and insightful way to spark creativity, conversation and collaboration across your team? Introducing RANSOM NOTES, from Very Special Games. Ransom Notes challenges up to six players to quickly create responses to provocative prompts using only magnetic word tiles. The inspiration to use this game came from a recent poll I put on LinkedIn about the use of board games in meetings and workshops. While some respondents said "YES" to the use of games, most were in "NO" or "USE WITH CAUTION" category. With that in mind, I thought I would test this game with my team before unleashing it in a workshop. The results were amazing. At first, my team were hesitant about the potential for the game. But after only three rounds of playing, everyone of them gave it a thumbs up. The conclusion was that in just under 10 minutes, we learned so much about each other's creative hidden talents. The game resulted in laughs, oohs, side-eyed stares, and more than a few of gasps of awe. We played the first two rounds of the game by the rules provided. Every player had a pile of magnetic word tiles and a metal canvas to organize their message. We used the game prompts to create responses to "How would you survive the zombie apocalypse?" and "Write the plot for a Hallmark movie." The third prompt, we went freestyle. I asked everyone at the table to explain what we, as facilitators, do for a living. My favorite response is pictured in this post. I am now committed to getting more games and using this as a communications warm-up in my next workshop. What is your experience with using games in workshops?
