    issues.

    they've been taught when it comes to training and corporate learning. The goal is to

    create intelligent programmes to overcome this.

    Possibility to get ineffective outcome:

    but there is a possibility to get ineffective outcome if the trainees profile are not

    suitable for everyone.

    Game is not the only methods:

    Beneficial games for the Trainees

    Communication game: In many occasions, employees experience miscommunication with

    others in an organization. Some member of a team may misunderstand or failed to explain the

    correct information to the another employees. Therefore, various conflicts may rise in the

    organization which may affect the workflow. Communication game is one of the best way to

    demonstrate how miscommunication occur in an organization.

    In the game, number of employees will line up and pass or show an acting with another

    employees then the employee is required to pass to another. At the end, everyone will see

    how the first act was changing with other employees which may occur in an organization. It’s

    a great way to learn the importance of communication effectively in an organization.

    Moreover, this game is applicable for all types of employees in an organization.

    Stop-Walk: Employees have various situation whereby they do not give full concentration of

    their team leader or co-worker. It leads to mismanage or effect on the work flow as they

    failed to use the correct instruction. Employees can get benefits from this type of game to

    practice improve the concentration level between each other.

    In the game, trainer give simple commands such as “walk” so the trainer will start walking.

    When the trainer command “stop” then they will stop walking. This this way the trainer will

    keep adding new command and exchange the commands with others which makes difficult

    for the trainees to remember each command and give full concentration on the trainer’s

    command.

    Spaghetti Tower: Building spaghetti tower used for team work but it requires active mind

    and body fitness. Such games are not beneficial for trainees who does not meet with this

    requirement. Trainees have different way of learning new things depending on the generation.

    Some games may get good outcome for millennials but not for older generation (Tryczyński,

    2020). Training design plays an important part to identify which game can be played during

    the session based on the participant’s profile.

    Magic Carpet: It is an activity that requires trainees to stand in a small size carpet. It makes

    a difficult situation for the trainees to stand 3-5 participants in single carpet. During the

    training session, trainees may feel uncomfortable to stand with each other as it requires to

    allow other participants to enter into the personal space. Trainees may have religious or

    personal choice to not allow others to enter in their personal space. Therefore, this game may

    not well fit for everyone in the participants.
