Aug. 5th, 2002 10:25 amHaving a moment of job frustration which is, oddly enough, not related to my boss.
I use an activity I call "Talk Show Host" to end a lot of my groups. It's not exactly role playing where people have to act out roles with one another, but what I do have people do is draw a card with a scenario on it, and they read it outloud. Then an individual or group responds with advice about how to respond to the situation. Sort of like "Loveline" with (gag) Dr. Drew. It's usually the last activity I do, to end the group. It's also, not going to work very well I think with the group that I end next week. It needs and engaged and participatory group-and that one just isn't.
Why frustration? I can't find or think of a good activity that achieves my goals (reviews the basic information from the workshop, and offers an opportunity to apply knowledge/skills) and that will work well for a group that doesn't want to be there. I can't find anything...
Oh yeah, and if you call me on the phone, please don't crunch your pretzles in my ear.
