Authors Steve Hutchinson and Helen Lawrence explore how experiential learning activities can be more than ‘just a game’ through effective facilitation skills and building trainers, facilitators, coaches, managers, and educator’s confidence using experiential activities.

Steve Hutchinson and Helen Lawrence are also the creators of the experiential learning activity Counter Intelligence.

Published in June 2011 by Gower Publishing, ISBN 978-1-4094-0805-5Playing with Purpose shows how a facilitator, coach, manager, people developer or trainer can invent or reinvigorate an artificial learning experience and make it so much more than a game.

The authors look at a range of dilemmas, challenges and problems faced by anyone wanting to run memorable adult learning experiences, classes and project meetings and then demonstrate how to get powerful lessons from the simplest of household and office objects and situations.

The exercises and ideas outlined provide a focused examination of a range of training aims and outcomes including leadership, teamwork, communications, equality and diversity, feedback and personal effectiveness; as well as general energisers, closers and problems to be solved.
