The most enjoyed activity in the PPD program

PPD or Personality Progress Development is a program we used to have in our 1st and 2nd years of University life. It was designed to help us develop our skills and behaviors to match our professional and social environments. We have done many activities in our PPD sessions over the years.  But my favorite activity was the one called "Round-Robin".

Round-robin was a very interesting activity we did few times in our PPD sessions. The way we did it was someone (most of the times it was one of our demonstrators) starts a story and tell the story for a minute and then the next person has to start telling the story from the position where the last person stops using the last word of the last person said. The fun part was the story. Since everyone had very different imaginations the flow of the story gets very interesting over the time. Sometimes the story might start from a guy eating a burger and it will go through an alien invasion, an extinction event, a cartoon character saves the day and someone saying the burger story again. The way this game improved our skills was it challenged our imagination and quick thinking. It also asks us to pay attention when the other person speaks. It was a great activity to do in the class and I really enjoyed it a lot.
