What better way to get to know someone than by playing a game? According to the Corporate Meetings Network blog, it’s the fastest, funnest icebreaker for your next meeting, not to mention it’ll release some of your attendees’ endorphins. “When you learn through doing, retention is increased and principles can later be applied to their individual situations,” says Tahira Endean, director of creative and production at Cantrav Services. “This sense of increased capability and perceived control as meeting attendees move through the levels developed with measurable, achievable tasks done collaboratively creates a connectedness which adds depth to their experience. They will leave your meeting feeling more capable, powerful and ready to accomplish more.” (ht @socialtables)
