The Values Game
What is important to me?
This game helps groups, teams and organisations to reach a consensus on the values and norms that everyone considers to be important. By playing this game, people will not only become more aware of their own values, but they will also become more appreciative of other people's perspectives.
The Values Game consists of 144 playing cards, divided into three groups:
• Values – A value is something that you find important to aspire to and that directs your actions. Examples include: liberty, responsibility and honesty.
• Subjects – These are used to make the discussion about values more focused on a specific area. Examples include: relationships, education, social media and politics.
• Group norms – These are the rules that dictate what kind of behaviour is good or bad, wanted or unwanted, allowed or forbidden in groups and teams. For example: 'you must be available at all times' and 'all topics can be discussed'.
Applications
- Becoming aware of your most important values
- Team building sessions
- Discussing the values of an organisation
- Discussing and changing group norms
- Career planning
- Individual coaching
