ditloids puzzles for training, warm-ups, team building activities and fun
Ditloids puzzles are great for organizational development and team building exercises, team building games and quizzes of all sorts, because they combine maths, logic, lateral thinking and general knowledge. See also the free team building games, and the team building execises guidelines for using these ditloids and other team building activities. Ditloids are very quick and easy to create, so you need never be at a loss for some light relief at any gathering. (As an exercise ask teams to create their own ditloids tests - for the opposing teams - using terms from their own organizational context - this also makes an intersting product knowledge test.) How many of these ditloids can you answer? (ditloid example: 12 M I T Y = 12 months in the year.) Use some in your next training coffee-break. Easy ones first...
