The document discusses the concept of gamification in museums and its benefits across emotional, mental, and social domains through play. It presents methods to incorporate play in problem-solving and encourages collaboration and creativity using activities like LEGO Serious Play. Additionally, it outlines steps for empathizing with community needs, defining problems, ideating solutions, prototyping, and testing to enhance creative and strategic thinking.

We grow old because we stop playing

3. Play is unique because it produces benefits than span
multiple functional domains including: emotional, mental
and social.
It involves a voluntary activity – imaginary

6. Disruptions and Opportunities

7. Creativity is intelligence having fun
-Einstein-

8. … a great idea stems from something that
already exists…

21. Thinking, playing and innovating
with Lego®Serious Play®

22. Create, Think, Learn

23. What is Lego®Serious Play®?
• A productive, brain
friendly, yet fun way to
think with your hands
and solve big
challenges as a group.
• A method to solve
complex problems and
to decide on strategic
issues.

24. Lego gives you a chance!
• Engaging
• Playfully
• Constructively
• Appreciatively
• Innovatively

25. Metaphors
• Metaphors can be
serve as powerful
tools leading us to
think about our
realities in a new or
different ways.

26. You can remember metaphors easily

27. Activity: Thinking with your hands
using Lego

28. Warm up activity
• Build a duck.
Timer for 1 minute

29. Activity 2
• What is the biggest challenge you faced in your
work?
Timer for 3 minutes

30. Individuals tell their story
• Each of you, share the model’s meaning and story
with the rest of your team
• You may also take a picture, give short description
on what did you build, and hashtag
@jlminoi #creativeculture

31. Playful Design Thinking
• Design thinking for developing 5 competencies for
the 21st
century workplace
– Computational thinking
– Collaboration
– Creativity
– Problem solving
– Critical thinking

35. 💡 Empathy
”The empathy at the core of it will be another
useful skill to have in not only the line of work I
want to achieve, but in everyday life and social
situations.”
“Knowing you can create something
to help others is very rewarding”
“… appreciation of different
mindsets and skillsets”
“…being imaginative and empathetic would greatly help the hole I
am missing from my course…”

36. 💡 Purpose and Meaning
“… creating something with purpose beyond initial
function, developing an experience rather than a
product“
“Knowing you can create something to help others is very rewarding”
“I wanted to see my creation spread my message
reach through other people through an engaging
platform, and hopefully leave a mark inside them”
“…playfulness can be adapted so others
could learn, be more ethical, or change a
real world issue to be solved…”

37. Tapping into play inspirations:
“Remixing Play into a Playful
Planning Session”
Reuse the tools and
mechanics of play for creative
and strategic thinking

38. 1.Empathise
● What are the common problems encountered by people,
learners, communities?
○ In terms of,
■ Content, issues, culture
■ Environment
■ Level of understanding (prior knowledge)
■ Resources
● Consult experts/head community/leaders to find out more about
the area of concern by observing, engaging and empathizing
● Example : Needs analysis - interviews, observations - field notes

39. 2. Define (The problem)
● Identify all possible problems from the gathered
information.
● Find the core problem.
● Define the problem in a human-centered manner.
● Example: Brainstorming
● Listing down problems
● Describe how the problems are addressed in class (or not)
● Describe existing interventions (if any)
● Show the connections between chunks of input, and how they are presented
in the lesson

40. 3. Ideate
● Generate ideas, based on PLAY, to solve the problem.
○ Solution: Gamification of <theme> subjects.
● From 1st and 2nd stage, you and your team members can
start to ‘think outside the box’.
○ Creative thinking/Critical thinking to solve the problems.
● Example of ideas done : Using elements (items, strategies,
etc.) from traditional games/etc.
○ Snake and ladders, Monopoly, Congkak, Hopscotch, Soduku, Solitaire, etc.

41. 4. Prototype
● Produce a number of inexpensive products
● Identify the best possible solution for each of the problems.
● Improve and re-examine (or reject) the prototype on the
basis of the users’ experiences.
● By the end of this stage, you will have a better idea of the
problems that are present and have a better/more informed
of how real learners would behave, think and feel when
interacting with the end product.

42. 5. Test
● Test the complete products using the best solutions
identified during the prototyping phase
○ The result from the test will be use to redefine/improve
the prototype,
■ Understanding of the users
■ The conditions of the use
■ How people think, behave and feel, and
■ How to empathize

43. Our Gameplan for today
• Pick you theme (10 minutes)
1. Leadership and management
2. Training and education
3. Culture and arts
4. Social change
5. Transformation (mindset/practice)
6. Technology and development

44. Empathy
• Within your group, identify the
–Goals (objectives, inspirations)
–People (beneficiaries, users, etc.)
–Context (domain, industry, etc.)

45. Pick Common Games
• Pick 1-3 games that you know
• Unpick the mechanics and rules
• Game strategies

46. Strategy-mechanics Mapping
• Reuse the mechanics to inform
strategy
• Test each strategy-mechanics
mapping
• Iterate the process

47. Build your idea using Lego
● Work together to build and merge a
solution using Lego.
● Within your group, discuss a story, the
goals.

48. Pitching time! Tell your story
• Each of you, share the problem(s) and your solution
with the rest of the teams. (2 minutes pitching)
• Tweet your landscapes or your models, give a short
description on what did you build and hashtag
@jlminoi #creativeculture

49. Let’s vote!
• Most fun
• Most impact
• Best solution
• Use the coloured labels to stick on other people’s tables
– Yellow: Most fun
– Red: Most impact
– Blue: Best solution

50. Thank YOU!

51. Feedback
• Build a model to describe this activity, how you feel
and/or how can we change in the future for similar
workshop
• Write the keywords on the Post-it® notes.
