00:00What is the games ladder?
00:30Before discussing the steps of the ladder further, we must clarify that these games are very simple, with at most one, two, or three rules so that they can be played by anyone of any age and can be very friendly.
00:50We also want to say that these games really require very little material; they can be done with the body, with feathers, with pencils, with markers, with bandanas, which are within anyone's reach.
01:03It's not something that requires a lot of material to do.
01:08So we will begin this explanation of the games ladder with the first step, which is icebreaker games.
01:17In groups where people don't know each other, where they aren't integrated, we have to start by playing these games to get to know each other, break the ice, and make the atmosphere more friendly.
01:28And we will continue to the next step of the ladder with introductory games to get to know each other, to learn each other's names, learning names in a very fun way and being able to address other people by their names.
01:42And to do it in a really fun way.
01:48Well, there's another level, which is knowledge games.
01:51It is important that, apart from the names, we know a little more information about the person who will be sharing a certain activity with me.
01:59And after the knowledge games, there is another step called affirmation.
02:03In these games we get to know ourselves and accept ourselves as we are, we learn about our skills or some areas for improvement and that can help us develop better within the group.
02:16As Pati says, after the affirmation games that I already know how much I am worth, how much I value myself, I can take the next step which is the confidence game.
02:25Trusting others, trusting myself and trusting others above all, encouraging myself to trust others.
02:32So, they have games to develop trust in groups.
02:35And then we had an even higher level that is very important in all groups, which are communication games.
02:43How to discover through a game what are the most common mistakes we make in communication and what we should not do to have effective, affective communication.
02:54And through a simple game we discover that.
02:59Well, and so we arrive at a very important point or a very important step which is cooperative games.
03:05It is important that first, before being able to invite the person to cooperate, they have to get to know each other, they have to have confidence, they have to know themselves.
03:15So, that's why it's similar to a ladder, going up step by step to get to this point.
03:22And there is a final step called non-violent conflict management.
03:27It is also through games that this group, which has been walking together for a certain time, gets to know each other, and can now be said to be a more mature group.
03:37You can enter into this dynamic where, through roles, we are presented with a conflict that we have to solve in the most peaceful way.
03:48Or that's why it's called non-violent. In other words, reaching this point means you can handle all aspects of cooperative games.
03:56By the end of the school you will have the necessary tools to be able to put these games into the different groups of people, the groups of people that you participate in.
04:05Here on the platform we will leave a large number of games already well explained, their objectives, the questions, whether these games have a conclusion and they will also be classified according to the ladder we just saw.
04:23Next, we will see the detailed specification of each step of that ladder that we have just presented.
04:30Thank you!
