Why Games for Change?

6

There is no problem that doesn’t have some underlying need for more optimism, stamina, resilience and collaboration. And games are, I believe, the best platform we have for providing that. - Jane McGonigal

Let’s Play a Game!

12

1 Think about your change challenge. Sort the quotes into a YES and NO pile.

Yes, I might hear this at my organization No, I probably wouldn’t hear this at my organization

13

2 Put your NO stack back in the box. Flip your YES stack over and sort by color. Mark the number of cards from each category in the boxes on your worksheet.

14

3 Prioritize your top 5 barriers

15

Note the title of the card on your worksheet

4 Note the details of your top 5 cards on the worksheet

16

5 Reflect with a buddy. Share your top 3 barriers from your first brainstorm and your top 5 from your card sort. Did you learn something new when you used the cards?

17

Play the game with 10 people from your audience
