Like Clockwork: Unlocking Play Personailites for purposeful learning design
Want to unlock better engagement, connection, and outcomes in your learning programs? Let’s play! In this hands-on, high-energy session, you’ll explore Dr. Stuart Brown’s “Play Personalities” through an interactive tabletop game that brings your style to life.
You’ll discover your dominant play personality, collaborate with others who think (and play!) differently, and learn how to design more intentional learning experiences by choosing the right kind of play for your audience.
Whether you're a Joker, Director, Kinesthete, or Storyteller; this session will help you translate play into practice and design interventions that truly stick.
Did you know? People remember up to 75% of what they do and playful learning taps right into that! Turns out, games aren’t just fun… they’re unforgettable!!
