Asked and Answered

I have been working on some ideas for adding zip to the review portion of a training.

I am not sure where I first saw this idea, but it might have been at this site: http://www.eureka-tp.com/
This fellow has some amazing ideas, all of them extremely practical, and has made an art out of fine tuning fun and exciting training.

Activity

Let's say the group has been working on a topic for half the day and there was quite a lot of information dispersed. At the end of the morning I give out index cards. Half the group gets question cards and the other half get answer cards.

Then everyone walks around looking for their match. Once the match is found, we discuss the questions and answers and bring up any additional points.

For example: let's say I am teaching a class on how to enter contests. Here are a few question and answer cards. Go ahead, try to match them up for yourself.

Questions
How many times can you enter a contest if it says "one entry only"?
How can I get my name and address and details filled in on forms automatically?
Do we have to pay tax on our winnings?
Is there any mailing costs I have to pay on a prize?

Answers
In Canada we don't pay tax on our winnings.
You can enter it only one time or you will be disqualified.
You shouldn't have to pay mailing costs, but you might have to pay customs.
Roboform fills in contest forms automatically.

Should be an action-packed, fun way to create a review and give people an opportunity to add their comments.
