Guest pdh Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 Interesting these games of chinese whispers! Makes good reading but its absolute rubbish about the song and lyrics to be sung when John walks in! Not a bad idea though ..................!! The finger length game is indeed one of number of ice breakers we use on different courses to help people relax and get to know each other a bit: on this last course it worked very well though we do change them to keep things different. Can't wait for the next write up of one of our training courses. Peter D Harris, head of Training, Timpson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter You need to change your Deodorant then Mr Harris Welcome, nice to have an official voice instead of rumours. May have put an end to a bit of light hearted humour though. Oh, and a very Merry Christmas to all the hidden Timpson readers. May the fortunes of all those connected with Services from all walks of life prosper greatly in the coming year.
