    Games are one of the most special styles in training as they differ from all other methods in that they require a lot of resources. You can create an idea through the game, but it requires some important elements that must be taken into account:

• Do not use games just for fun and to waste time.

To increase credibility, the trainer needs to prepare well in terms of:

• Guidance and instructions required.

• What are the likely problems that might occur?

• How much time is required?

Preparation for new games and exercises should be taken from:

• Direct experience.

• Access.

• Observation during training.

• Clarity of the game frame or exercise.

• Goals of the game or exercise.

• Procedural steps.

• Roles.

• Emphasize that although the game does not represent a real situation, it helps participants focus on real topics.

Give enough time after the game to discuss the results.

Features of games and exercises:

• Discussion helps to create realism and attention by trainees.

• Easy to communicate concept or skill through the game.

• The power of recall and recall.

• Non-boring entertaining training.

• Suitable for handling trends.

Game and exercise settings:

• Consuming a lot of time and developing it may be expensive.

• Less control by the trainer on the process.

• The competition factor may reduce the focus on the training objective.

• Can be treated as toys only.

• Games and complex exercises may lead to confusion, and the simple may be tedious and unhelpful.
