If you've ever facilitated a workshop or a training session, then you know how difficult it can sometimes be to pull everyone back into the room right after a break. But, that's usually the first challenge. Once you have them back in the room, the next challenge is to get the brain juices flowing again.
"Brain teasers" were fun little activities I found helpful in getting folks back into the groove again. The trick is to make 'em short, not too difficult so as to be a turn-off, but also not so easy as to be boring. The little snip above is an example of one from a series of 5-10 slides I'd have up on the screen for people to try and make sense of. I've been known to throw chocolates and candy around the room to those who guessed correctly. (I found the sugar was a good little booster, too.) :)
The brain teaser above is an easy one. After all, I give it to you right in the title to this post. But, how about the one below? Any takers?
