This activity adds the element of competition, so give a prize to the team that suc-

cessfully unscrambles all of its words first. It is also a way to be sure that participants

have learned what is being presented in the leadership workshop.

ADVANCE PREPARATION

ship workshop. For each word, write the letters on a card, but scramble them up. Clip

each set of scrambled-word cards togetherand make sure you have a set of ten for each

table group. Here are some suggested words to use:

Leadership Ethics

Manager Balance

Flexibility Conflict

Style Negotiate

Trust Coach

Trainer’s Notes for Activity 13

STEP-BY-STEP PROCEDURE

Step 1: Divide participants into teams of six (use the same work groups you have

used for other workshop activities, if you wish). Assign the role of Game

Monitor to one member of each team. This person stands at the end of

the table.

Step 2: Explain how the game is played, using the following guidelines:

One set of scrambled-word cards is placed in the middle of each group’s

table. When the game starts, the first person to the right of the Game

Monitor selects one card from the pile and tries to identify the correct

word, using all the scrambled letters on the card.
