Course description
Activities and games provide a more robust and interesting experience for learners, and help to engage all their senses. In Using Activities to Make Training Fun, new or nearly new trainers learn to create buy-in by using well-designed activities and games, how to encourage reluctant learners, how to use humor even when they aren’t a naturally funny person, and how to create their own activity.
This courseware offers everything a busy trainer needs, and can be downloaded today, printed, and delivered tomorrow! Training materials include a pre-assignment, assessments, activities, pre-formatted slides, a supplementary reading list, and quick reference guide.

What you get
Velsoft Instructor Guides are the core of each training course. Our Instructor Guides lay out the training in simple, easy-to-follow instructions. You can also customize the Instructor Guides in order to personalize your training.
Each Instructor Guide - for each course - is paired with a Student Manual that you can present to your participants. This customizable Student Manual gives each participant the student version of the course you will be teaching.
Whether or not you choose to introduce exercises into your training is up to you as the facilitator. In case you want to do this Velsoft offers you an Exercise Workbook (also customizable) that is specific to the course you are offering.
Each Velsoft courseware title comes with a Lab Workbook loaded with activities and exercises to practice and reinforce the learners' understanding of the course objectives. Pre-made Sample Exercise Files are provided for use with the Lab Workbook so that you, as the trainer, do not have to prepare activity working files.
Courseware from Velsoft is designed to give you everything you need for use in the classroom or workshop. This includes the PowerPoint versions of all the courses, prepared for you in advanced.
Quick Reference Guides are a favorite tool for trainers to provide to their learners. Each Quest Reference Guide summarizes the most important elements in each courseware title down to two pages.
