About This Book

Why is this topic important?

Because of the saturation level attained through technology (e.g., iPods, TiVO, electronic

games, DVD viewers in cars, and games on telephones and other personal electronic devices),

people are accustomed to being entertained wherever they go. That is why trainers and educa-

tors often struggle to find ways to maximize learning time while keeping learners engaged.

They continually look for ways to get people in a classroom to interact appropriately and at

the same time aid learning. This is why many trainers and educators turn to games and activi-

ties that can encourage group interaction, entertain, relate to a topic, or stimulate thinking.

What can you achieve with this book?

Through the fun and engaging techniques outlined in this book, you can encourage group

interaction or present and review key topic concepts with learners. Whether you need an

activity to gain attention, set the mood for learning, review key program elements, or just

allow learners to discover ways to directly apply what they have experienced to their work-

places or other environments, there is an activity in this book to meet your needs. This is where

Creative Learning: Games and Activities That REALLY Engage People can prove invaluable.

How is this book organized?

The games and activities in this book are divided into five sections that follow the chronology

of many learning events: Getting Started, Re-Energizing the Brain, Interim Reviews, Transfer

of Learning, and Ending on a High Note. Additionally, there is a Resources section at the back

of the book that provides information on relevant books, websites, and vendors.
