Two truths, One lie
"Two Truths, One Lie" is a team-building game that gets more interesting with assessments like the Big Five, DISC, or MBTI. By basing their statements on these assessments, team members can share parts of their personality and background. This leads to better understanding and appreciation among colleagues, while also promoting engaging discussions and stronger team bonds.
How to Play the Word Association
Say a word, and the next person quickly says the first word that comes to mind.
Word Association is an engaging and dynamic game designed to enhance team creativity and quick thinking. It involves players saying words in rapid succession, each word triggering the next person's immediate response. To take this game to the next level and maximize its benefits for team building, we integrate behavioral, personality, and culture assessments. This structured approach not only makes the game more insightful but also fosters deeper understanding and stronger connections within the team.
Utilizing Assessments for Enhanced Insight
Before diving into the game, each team member completes a series of behavioral, personality, and culture assessments. These assessments help identify individual traits, communication styles, and cultural backgrounds. Understanding these dimensions allows us to tailor the game to highlight unique strengths and dynamics within the team. For instance, knowing whether someone is more introverted or extroverted can influence the pace and structure of their responses, making the game more inclusive and engaging for everyone involved.
Customized Game Play Instructions
Once assessments are completed, brief the team on their results, emphasizing how these insights will enrich the Word Association experience. Start the game by having the facilitator, who is familiar with everyone's assessment results, say a word that resonates with the team's culture or shared goals. The next person, considering their personality traits and behavioral tendencies, quickly responds with the first word that comes to mind. This continues around the group. If someone struggles to respond quickly, the facilitator can gently remind them of their assessment insights to help them break through any cognitive blocks.

Use Team Building Assessments for the Two truths, One lie game
Incorporating team building assessments into the Two Truths, One Lie game adds a layer of depth and personalization that can significantly enhance the experience for all participants. Once assessments are completed, it's essential to take a moment to brief the team on their individual results, highlighting key insights that will contribute to a richer Word Association experience. By understanding each other's personality traits and behavioral tendencies, team members can appreciate the diverse perspectives within the group, fostering a supportive atmosphere. To kick off the game, the facilitator—armed with the knowledge of everyone’s assessment outcomes—introduces a word that embodies the team's culture or shared aspirations. Each participant then responds with the first word that springs to mind, creating a dynamic flow of associations that not only reflects their personalities but also strengthens their connections. If a participant finds themselves hesitating, the facilitator can gently draw on the insights from their assessment, prompting them to tap into their strengths or values, thereby alleviating any cognitive hurdles. This approach not only encourages engagement but also reinforces a sense of camaraderie and mutual understanding, ultimately enriching the team's collaborative spirit.
