Who wouldn’t want to be featured on a magazine cover?
In this activity, each person has to create an imaginary magazine cover story about a successful project or new protocol that the City of Jackson has achieved. They have to get the right images, come up with headlines, formulate quotes, etc.
Objective: Visualize future success, motivate team members and encourage them to think big
How to play
- The goal of this game is simple: get players to create a magazine cover story about an achievement your Department or Division (choose either) has accomplished. The players don’t have to write the complete story; they only have to write the headlines and create images, quotes, and sidebars.
- Divide participants into teams of 2-4 players. Give them markers, pens, and anything else they’ll need to create a fictional magazine cover.
- Create several templates for different elements of the magazine story. This should include: a) magazine cover, b) cover story headline, c) quotes from leaders and team members, d) sidebars about project highlights and e) images.
- Distribute these templates to each team. Ask them to create a magazine story, filling in each template and focusing on the project or business.
- Choose the best magazine cover.
Strategy
Seeing your project or business’ success featured in a magazine is the high point of any organization. This creative exercise helps your team members think big and visualize their future success. It can also be a powerful motivational tool.
