Adapting Hello Frame Game to Communication skills

 How can we adapt Thiagi's Hello Frame Game to Communication Skills Training ?

Thiagi's Hello Frame Game is a simple activity that involves introducing oneself to the group and adding a unique detail to make the introduction more interesting. To adapt this game to communication skills training, you can follow these steps:

1. Define the communication skills: Define the communication skills that you want to focus on in the training. For example, you may want to focus on active listening, assertiveness, or giving feedback.

2. Explain the game: Explain the Hello Frame Game to the participants. Ask them to introduce themselves to the group and add a unique detail about their communication style. For example, they can share their preferred communication channel or how they like to receive feedback.

3. Add communication skills prompts: Before the game, prepare prompts that are related to the communication skills you want to focus on. For example, if the focus is on active listening, prompts can include "Share one technique you use to show someone that you are actively listening to them" or "What are some common distractions that prevent you from listening actively?"

4. Play the game: Play the game with the participants by giving them a prompt related to the communication skill you want to focus on. Ask each participant to introduce themselves and share their unique detail and then answer the prompt. Encourage discussion and reflection among the participants.

5. Debrief the game: Debrief the game with the participants by asking them what they learned about communication skills from the game. Encourage them to share insights and experiences from the game.

By adapting Thiagi's Hello Frame Game to communication skills training in this way, you can make the training more interactive, engaging, and memorable for the participants while also helping them develop their communication skills.
