Full House
Fast paced poker game
About
Full House is engaging and enjoyable networking activity. Each person has a giant poker card. They have to find other people with appropriate cards to create the poker hand that's shown on the screen. Successful people are given a chip in round 2. In round 2 the team work begins as the team formed in round 1 sticks together and negotiates with other teams to swap cards in a quest to create the required poker hand. The winning team is the one with the most chips at the end of the game. Cards can be re-themed to reflect the company, conference or topical themes like Christmas.
Learning Outcomes
Full House is a rollercoaster of fun and frenetic activity as participants maximise their own return by constantly moving around the room networking to uncover the needs of others. Participants need to memorise or associate a person with their card to increase their speed of response. In round 2, participants are required to work as a team, polishing their negotiation skills and learning the law of reciprocity - if we help others get what they want, they will help us get what we want. Fast decision making and knowing when to walk away from a negotiation is also critical.
