Quick Puzzle
Quick Puzzle is a team-building game suitable for any team size, lasting 30-60 minutes. It uses personal assessments to help team members understand each other's strengths and communication styles. This leads to better role assignments and improves teamwork. The insights gained not only enhance puzzle-solving skills but also strengthen relationships and collaboration within the team. Quick Puzzle is a valuable tool for personal and professional growth.
How to Play the Show and Tell
Share and discuss personal items or interests with the team
To elevate the traditional "Show and Tell" game into a robust team-building exercise, we integrate behavioral, personality, and culture assessments. This enhanced version aims to not only strengthen presentation skills and bonding but also to foster a deeper understanding of team dynamics. The game begins with each team member completing a set of predetermined assessments. These could include well-known tools like the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), DISC assessment, or any cultural competency tests relevant to your organization. The data collected from these assessments will form the foundation of the game.
Prepare the Groundwork
Once everyone has completed their assessments, the results are compiled and shared with the team in a confidential manner. Each participant will receive a summary of their own results, highlighting key traits, strengths, and areas for improvement. Team members should take some time to internalize their findings, reflect on how these traits manifest in their professional and personal lives, and think about specific examples or personal items that illustrate these characteristics. This preparation phase is crucial for meaningful and insightful sharing.
Share and Discuss
On the day of the game, each participant will take turns presenting their assessment results to the team. They should explain the key findings from their assessments and how these insights relate to their behavior, personality, and cultural background. Alongside this explanation, they should share a personal item or anecdote that exemplifies one or more of their highlighted traits. For example, someone with a high degree of introversion might share a cherished book that provides them comfort and solitude. This dual approach of data-backed insights and personal storytelling makes the session engaging and informative.
