Icebreaker - A new way to present them

Post Office Entry Examination 1897

I saw this Post Office Entry Examination from 1897 on a wall recently and had to share it. How well would you have done? I'm pretty sure I would have struggled to get the job!

Physiological find a word

This popped into my inbox lately and I thought it would make an interesting icebreaker or energiser during training. I'm not sure of the 'scientific truth' of it, but it should add a bit of fun to proceedings. I've not known anyone yet to look at it and not want to let everyone know their words!

Just the ticket?

I'm not sure how or even whether you could use this in a training environment, but it really made me chuckle...

Perhaps there is something here about miscommunication or thinking you are in the right when you're not? Maybe it's just a fun icebreaker to start the day.

By the way, I should point out that the story is false...
