FUN ACTIVITY

LATERAL THINKING PUZZLE

Procedure

Ask participants to work in pairs on this exercise, which will test their 

lateral thinking ability and creativity. Either read out the story, display

it as an OHP, or distribute it as a handout (given on next page).

Allow 10-15 minutes and then go around the group asking participants

to read out their answers or conclusions.

You might choose to provide short yes or no answers to participants

questions, although be careful not to lead them too quickly to the

answer. Encourage participants to explore all possible options,

thinking as laterally and creatively as possible.

The Answer 

The lawyer and the accountant were women. The postman was

therefore the only person who could have been called John.

The Hotel Detective

A hotel detective was walking along a corridor of a large

hotel one day. Suddenly he heard a woman’s voice cry

out, “For God’s sake, don’t shoot me, John!” Then there

was a shot.

He ran to the room from where the shot had come andburst in. In one corner of the room lay a woman who had

been shot through the heart. In the middle of the room was

a gun that had been used to shoot her.

On the other side of the room stood a postman, a lawyer,

and an accountant. The detective looked at then for a

moment and then walked towards the postman, grabbed

him, and said, “I’m arresting you for the murder of that

woman.” It was, in fact, the postman who had murdered

the woman, but how did the detective know?

The detective had not seen any of the people in the room

before.

FUN ACTIVITY

Goal Visualization

Purpose

To allow participants to practice the skills of visualizing key skills and behaviors, goals,

and ambitions. It can be linked to the topic or skills being presented in the course.

Procedure

Ask participants to work individually and be ready to contribute their results to the group

discussion that will follow.

Next ask participants to select a specific goal or behavior. Distribute the handout given on

the next page or display the OPH slide.

Once a goal or new behavior has been selected, it is vital to form a vivid mental picture of 

yourself doing or having something that you want to do, or have.

In the visualization, three things are important; first, include details by engaging all your 

senses; second, imagine yourself enjoying the scenario you wish for yourself; and third,

picture the scene happening on a specific date. By encouraging you to focus on your 

objectives, this visualization helps to stir up your motivation. Start with a small, easy-to-

reach goal and work up to larger, more encompassing goals.

Ask participants to make detailed notes on these images.

After 10-15 minutes, go around the room and ask each participant to share their images

and goals.

Discussion Points

· Did the images and scenes begin to “flow” after you had focused on a goal?

·

How much detail were you able to generate?· Have you used this technique in the past?
