Icon Legend. It's usually fairly active. MGM out. Sunny Enthusiast. Joined Jun 13, Messages Nice one, cheers. Joined May 8, Messages 2, I posted some thread games and they have been a HUGE hit It's easy.. Let's try it? So, for example.. Alphabetical towns, suburbs, cities, countries. The first one starts with an A but the next one starts with the letter the first one ends with So if I use Azerbaijan the next one starts N.

Time to start a game that is alot of fun! The first poster will post 2 words, such as Microsoft Windows, and the next poster will use the 2nd word in their post. I've picked five letters The next person has to make a sentence using just the five letters.

Like this I can't take credit for dreaming them up. But they have been a great hit and one of the best things I added to the board. Last edited: Jun 22, Joined Sep 9, Messages 2. RobHall Participant. Joined Aug 17, Messages There are some great ideas within this thread, forum games really help to engage people, I've been using them for years to drive activity.

Play by the forum rules! What are you thinking right now? How to play: Post what are you thinking right now? Please play by the forum rules! Okay I will start! I am thinking of post what your thinking. Labels: forum traffic , increase forum participation , more forum traffic , more traffic. Guess Who Comes Next.. Here a great guessing game! How to play: Guess the username of the person to post next in the thread.. Rules: No rules, just have fun So let me start off! I think maybe use an Administrators name will be the next to post.

Here is another fun thread to start and the thread title is Here's some random game. It might be kinda fun.

Mine is: thread poster just copies and pastes what they have! Labels: forum traffic , fun threads , more forum traffic. Here is a fun thread that start if the thread hasn't been started yet.. Did you know that XXX is the roman numerals for the number 30? That MIX is also roman numerals for ?

That LIX is also roman numerals for 59? That before this is posted that I have give exact postings. What is your current posting count in Roman Numerals? I want to know more! I know more than enough! Need some pic to learn more! Labels: forum traffic , increase forum participation , more traffic. The thread is called the The Last Letter.. Here a fun and challenging way to kill some time! Rules are pretty simple.. Okay I will start with.. For a set amount of time, the entire group should mingle, and ask and answer questions.

They should treat each other according to the stereotypical way based on what kind of person they have been labeled. Each team member can use that treatment, as well as the answers to questions, to figure out what the label is. As each team member figures out who they are, they can exit the game and let the rest continue. Purpose: By confronting stereotypes in both how people treat us and in the questions and answers used, the team can get a better sense of how we mistakenly see people as well as how it feels to be so narrowly defined.

This is also a good ice-breaker activity if you have team members that do not know each other yet. Using masking tape, create a large polygonal shape on the floor. It should be about 12 feet long by 6 feet wide, at least.

Mark the start and stopping points. Make the shape a bit convoluted, choosing a shape that is elongated with the idea that people must make their way from one end to the other. Place a few squeaky dog toys inside the shape, and twice as many full sheets of paper with a large X on them inside the shape. The paper is the mines. At least two at a time, each person on your team must make their way from start to finish blindfolded.

They cannot step outside of the boundary, nor can they step on a mine. If they do, they are frozen. They can only be unfrozen if someone else inside the shape steps on a squeak toy. Their only guidance is the vocal commands of those outside the shape who are not blindfolded.

Purpose: This game is about communication, and trusting each other. Players learn to be observant of multiple action as well as give clear and timely advice. On a bulletin board or other surface which accepts thumbtacks, create a blank timeline. The timeline should start as far back as the oldest member on your team was born or when the company was founded, whichever came first.

Mark each year on the timeline. Then, using narrow strips of paper, write down important dates for the company e. Give your team members four slips of paper, and ask them to mark down four important moments in their life. Let them pin them to the timeline. Purpose: This exercise helps show, in a visual way, the different generations and experiences of your team. It leads well into talking about cultural and generational differences and the effects that has on how people work and communicate.

It is also an opportunity for team members to learn more about each other. Have each team member bring one item from their desk to the exercise. Then, tell them that this item is going to be their new product, and that they must come up with a name, logo, slogan, and marketing plan for that object.

Give them a set amount of time. This could be done individually, or in small groups if desired. Discuss, as a group, which products were successfully sold and why. Purpose: For marketing and design teams, this exercise presents the challenge of seeing old things in a new light. When combined with groups working together to sell a common object, you introduce teamwork and crunch-time brainstorming.

It promotes creativity and problem solving, too. Come up with several scenarios in which a person would be chosen to do something. For example, it might be a new job hire, marriage, leading an organization, or commanding an army. Have each team member write their question down. When all scenarios have been covered, discuss the questions as a group and see what each team member thinks would be the perfect question. Purpose: Team members quickly learn how each other thinks differently.

The perfect question that each comes up with will reflect their motives and what they think matters the most. This is an excellent way to lead into a discussion on how team members determine who is capable and who they will follow or trust.

Collect a variety of objects and put them in the center of a table. The broader the variety, the better e. The goal is to collect items that, at first glance, have no apparent connection.

Break the team into groups, giving each group a sheet of paper and pen. Make sure they have a clear view of all the objects. Instruct them to classify the objects into four groups, writing down the groupings on their sheet of paper. They should not let the team groups hear what they are doing. When the time is up, have a spokesperson for each group reveal how they classified the objects, and why. Reasons might vary, from the function of the object to how it looks, or the material it is made of.

Purpose: This exercise promotes teamwork and creative thinking, but it also encourages your team to rethink how they view everyday objects.

They are forced to look for commonalities in otherwise unconnected objects. This leads to a discussion on how to work outside the box for solutions to problems that seem wholly unrelated.

Bring in four objects or multiple sets of four objects of the same type e. Write up a conversational scenario for each set that outlines what the perfect item would be, in the order of preference. While none of the four objects is an exact match, each have qualities that reflect that perfect list. Read this scenario to your team, and instruct them to order the objects from best fit to worst fit. When all object sets are done, have team members explain why they ordered the objects that way.

Purpose: This exercise helps your team break down a scenario or problem and figure out which things are the best fit. This dovetails directly into discussion on current projects or challenges facing the group, in which you can, as a group, write a scenario for an actual project you are working on and decide which solutions are the best fit.

Bring the team into the room, and divide evenly into groups of at least two. Tell them they have thirty minutes to come up with a group problem-solving challenge that would make use of: teamwork, creativity, communication. When the thirty minutes is complete, the team will choose from one of the problem-solving challenges and actually do the activity. A variation is to use all of the challenges over a period of time so that your team-building activities come directly from your team itself.

Purpose: This team building exercise puts leadership responsibilities back on your team, showing them that they have the potential to come up with solutions, too. It also gives your team a chance to challenge other team members in ways they might not otherwise find the opportunity to do so in regular workday activity. Bring your team in for what they think is just another staff meeting.

Have a long document filled with mind-numbing but coherent jargon-filled speech that talks vaguely about sales and marketing goals. Sprinkled in the document are sentences which say something else entirely.
