Why playing is important for learning

Which is easier?

Work Play

People label ‘work’ tasks as more onerous than ‘play’ tasks.

As children we learn through playing…

Games can provide powerful metaphors...

They are fun, can be competitive, and have a beginning, middle and end.

Why not as adults?

Powerful training includes all senses…

Learning can be accelerated when playing…

A large body of

knowledge can

be absorbed in

a new and exciting way…

Participants can make mistakes…

They need to to get to the

next level. Feedback is fast

and simple to understand…

Playing creates bonds between players…

Which is good for

team development…

Playing reduce the fear of learning…

Playing promotes interaction between team members…

75% of workplace learning is forgotten…

Learning with play is remembered longer…

Better retention = better value for money
