Ideas for game/exercise

Create an engaging 15-minute training session on PC components for seniors using interactive games and exercises. Without individual computers, use group activities like identifying components through images on the projector, matching games on the whiteboard, or team-based quizzes that reinforce learning while keeping participants actively involved.

Greetings.

I'm attending a course to learn how to train people. In July I will have to make a 15 minutes session and my final evaluation will depend on my performance.

I already picked the subject: The 15 minutes session will be part of a Training Course named Internet/IT for Seniors (starting with basic information about the PC components). The target public will have no knowledge on computers.

I don't want to rely solely on exposition method. My plan for the session is:

– make my "seniors" recall previous information (allegedly given in a previous class);

– introduce the subject for the session. asking questions about what do they already know about the matter;

– talk briefly about the subject and then an exercise or game to evaluate if they got the information right;

My problem is: My audience (my colleagues) have no PC in front of them.

I only have a portable computer, a whiteboard and a projector.

Any ideas?

Thanks a lot.

    Hi Mun

    Part 1 – Have a big picture of a computer on the wall…a bunch of post its with names of parts / components…your audience put the name in the relevant place on the picture.

    Part 2 – Another bunch of post its with functions…your audience then go to the picture and match the function to the component.
