Games for Time Management Training

Games for Time Management Training

Activity for you which can be derived the Activity and the Derivation would take 2 Hrs and then the House can be opened for Brain Storming, You could summarise the whole thing in the end.

Activity:

Building the Tallest Tower in 45 Mins to 1 Hr ( Please be specific and choose either one of them)

Resources alloted to all Teams( Team size 4-6 Only), any number of Teams can participate and would depend on your batch size,
1.Straws-50 nos per Team
2.Disposable Plastic Cups 30 nos per Team
3. Cello Tape-Small Roll

Ask the Team to imagine a Tower and Build the Tallest one Possible using only the Resources provided, indicate the time alloted and clearly specify that the tower shuld stand on its own without any support from the Ceiling, Walls etc and watch them get into action.

At the end of the alloted time ask them,

How they managed the activity?
How they allocated the Tasks and Resouces?
How they Planned the Time Schedule ?
Who was the Time Keeper?
How the Time was managed by managing the Task?
What happened when they realised that some other Team was faster?

Derive that if they planned it Timed the whole thing and allocated even the Human Resorces would they have more than enough time to complete the activity??

Ask them to list out Activities they are supposed to do in their line of Business and allocate the time required for each activity and see how much they can achieve in a day!!

Also Explain thet there are only three Kinds of Jobs
1. Urgent
2.Important
3.Priority

Ask them where they would focus their attention and energies, Derive that if we do important things we dont have to worry since nothing will be urgent or Priority, however if something urgent should crop up which was not planned for then Brainstrom on which should be given due importance based on various situations. You could add in more content and Power point based on your requirement
