This online version of the Colourblind® game develops effective communication and team building skills and helps virtual teams recognise problems caused with imprecise communication and language. It is a verbal problem solving experiential learning activity that is used to improve communication & active listening skills, and is played in a small group.
It can be used with a group of 6 to 8 people (although as the ideal maximum is 14 x people, it's best to run two concurrent sessions for 30!),
The activity can be facilitated using any simple online meeting software such as Zoom, MS Teams, Google Meet etc., with video cameras switched on or off to ensure total dependence upon the quality of the Group’s verbal communication. The group works together to gather information that will allow them to solve a puzzle. A number of team and individual skills are required to be successful: information and group management, effective listening and questioning, strong chairing skills, the ability to clarify and summarise and the need for feedback to ensure understanding.
Colourblind® is our most popular experiential learning activity used internationally and among world leading organisations for over 30 years, and this updated version for virtual teams allows it to be used to address challenges in virtual and mixed teams more commonly operating today.
It can be used with a group of 6 to 28 people (although as the ideal maximum group size is 14 x people, it's best to run two concurrent sessions for 28!). Facilitate Colourblind (online version) using any simple online video conferencing solution such as Zoom, MS Teams or Google Meet.
