Project Instructions: Team Motivation Role Play
Title: Organise and Run a Team Motivation Activity
Group size: 2students
Main Goal: Improve your English through a practical, engaging team-building challenge.
Objective
Your team will plan and deliver a team motivation activity for your classmates. You will design the
activity, explain it clearly in English, lead the group through it, and reflect on the outcomes.
This simulation mirrors what real HR managers, team leaders, or consultants do when trying to
motivate a team.
Session 1: Planning Phase
1. Understand the Brief
You work in a company where morale is low. Your manager has asked your team to run a creative
team motivation session for your colleagues.
This could include:
• A short game
• A collaborative problem-solving task
• A creative challenge (poster, slogan, skit)
• An outdoor or movement-based energizer
• A communication or trust-building activity
Your activity must:
• Last 15–20 minutes
• Be suitable for a professional or semi-professional setting
• Be delivered fully in English
• Include a clear objective (e.g. build trust, break the ice, improve collaboration)
2. Plan Your Activity
Your group should:
• Choose the type of activity
• Write a step-by-step plan
• Assign roles (facilitator, timekeeper, speaker, observer, etc.)
• Prepare any materials needed (handouts, props, visuals)
• Create a short explanation/presentation of the activity
3. Prepare Your English
You must use:
• Clear instructions and transition phrases (e.g. “Next, we will…”, “Now please…”)
• Motivation-related vocabulary (reward, collaboration, trust, engagement, etc.)
• Indirect questions to check understanding or gather feedback
• Encouraging and supportive language (e.g. “Well done!”, “Thank you for sharing that.”)
4. Deliver Your Activity
Each team will:
• Introduce their activity (3–5 min presentation)
• Facilitate the activity for the rest of the class (15–20 min)
• Collect short verbal or written feedback from participants
5. Reflect & Present
After the activity, your group will:
• Explain what worked well
• Discuss what could be improved
• Share how you used English and what vocabulary or expressions were important
Tips for Success
• Keep the activity simple, clear, and fun.
• Encourage participation from everyone.
• Use professional English but keep it friendly and natural.
• Think like a facilitator – not a teacher!
• Practice your instructions together beforehand.
