WorkNet’s games bring to life some of the most profound lessons our curriculum offers, and allow candidates to personalize and apply those lessons to their unique situations.
Each focuses on an important lesson, and includes all the instruction and props to facilitate it (game prices vary based on cost of props).Our Game Box includes 10 great games!Our Newest Game! Sole Survivor!
You're the employer!... There's no right answer... Who will you hire? In this rousing game, job seekers experience the hiring process from a new perspective... the employer's! Their name, reputation, and job is on the line as they decide who stays and who goes in each round. They'll see what works and what doesn't on applications and resumes, understand the importance of a good phone presentation, get a new take on the interview, and see the power of reference checks. They'll see how subjective the process is and finally understand that skills is only part of why people are hired. In the end, they choose the Sole Survivor and learn the long-term results of their decision. Their new understanding of the process and the employer’s perspective allows them to avoid getting screened-out, market themselves, and be the "Sole Survivors" in their own job search! This is a great stand alone game, and also a great way to begin our Overcoming Barriers, Creating Your Job Search Strategy, or Marketing Journals. This game is not in the WorkNet Game Box.

The Unemployed Chicken
As candidates explore the unemployed and employed lifestyles in a safe environment, you learn about the fears that will hold them back, the things they want badly enough to work for, what motivates them, and other profound insights vital to this process. You may learn more in these 15 minutes than in hours of 1-on-1 or groups! This game can stand alone, but is designed for our Work Motivation Journal or What Do I Want From A Job? Fast Track.

Let’s Make A Deal
Many of our candidates no longer dream. In this powerful activity, candidates recall their childhood and other discarded dreams, then examine what happened along the way… when did they give up on them, what did they trade them for, why? Whether they want to reclaim those dreams or allow another to take flight, they can dream again and make those dreams a reality. This game can stand alone, but is designed for our Work Motivation Journal or What Do I Want From A Job? Fast Track

Kooshing!
This simple and versatile technique is a great way to create interaction, process information, take the focus off the facilitator and get the candidates talking. It can stand alone, and is used throughout our Journal and Fast Track series.
Product: G-KSH, $20.00
Culture Shock!
No one likes to be told they’re not good enough. The idea that a candidate has to “change” so they can succeed in the world of work can be offensive, feel disrespectful or cause resentment. This respectful, interactive game shows that today’s business culture is not right or wrong, better or worse, just different... like a foreign culture. If a candidate becomes “bi-cultural,” they can more successfully move toward their dreams. This game can stand alone, but is designed for our Understanding the Business Culture Journal.
Product: G-CSH, $35.00
What If…?
Often, getting the job is not the challenge… keeping it is! This game allows candidates to experience on-the-job problems, learn various ways to approach them, and decide how they might handle them… all before they begin working. The scenarios promote helpful and challenging discussion that increase candidates’ chances of keeping their job, and even getting promoted! This game can stand alone, but is designed for our Understanding the Business Culture or Working for Advancement Journal.
