There are countless things to keep in mind when using a game in purposeful work with a group, you need to make sure that the subject is appropriate and try to get individuals out of the comfort zone, because there you grow and learn. Here we have listed a few thing to keep in mind.

Ignore unreasonable behavior e.g. unwanted answers, bad communication, confusion, etc.

Praise for what is well done e.g. cool answers, good solutions, good communication.

It is good to use prominent fives and address loudly and cleverly what goes well, it often helps the others to accept and follow what is positive and desirable.

Take the opportunity if there is a disagreement or discussion that needs to be addressed, and go into it immediately.

Allow mistakes and go over the fact that mistakes can be made.

Remember that the game is about the process, not the competition or the final outcome, allowing things to go wrong, taking breaks, starting over, changing and improving. Use "time out" if needed to style the night.

Look closely at communication and progress in the game, use it to map individuals as well as the group.

The idea behind the visual game bank, the need for the device and the importance of using it for different groups and diversity.

The idea of ​​the web is a dream that has been in my stomach for a long time and is a collection of experience and knowledge through learning and years of work with children. drawer as well as the fact that it is often difficult to understand play descriptions and difficult for children to understand and accept, especially those who need an individualized approach due to e.g. disorders and children with a mother tongue other than Icelandic. There is also often a high staff turnover as well as young and inexperienced people who work with children (e.g. support staff) as well as a short preparation time and therefore equipment such as Funfy is needed. Exercises and games are available in several languages, and a video accompanies each game to explain to the facilitator or child who needs to know what lies ahead, what might happen, or what it means. The idea is to use the device for games, basics, and holidays, first and foremost, as there is a strong emphasis on friendship, social skills and other aspects, even though the web is open to everyone.

There are countless things behind going into a game, games can be used just for fun but you can also use games in purposeful work with individuals and groups. 

It is important to carefully choose the games to be played with a group and identify what needs to be strengthened or worked out. This has the advantage that it is easy to categorize games based on certain factors and thus simplify the search for the right game.

Most games offer the ability to change layouts and customize according to growth. It is important to keep in mind that mistakes can be made, breaks can be taken and sometimes the game does not work out. The game is about learning from and enjoying the road trip and not just aiming for a specific outcome. Managers should set up a situation and explain but allow the group to work out the challenges themselves, if action is needed it should be pointed out which group can work better together rather than point to the solution or "correct" method.
