Okay, let me put it like this... you CAN play games and stuff with corporate groups, sure why not, when it fits into the learning objectives and is done in a mature way.

However, a lot of teachers have the idea that the only way to stimulate learners is by playing games. Maybe with kids this is true, but adult learners will often be more stimulated if your material is rich and rewarding to them. If the Thai tourist guys are enabled to present and promote their country fluently and confidently through presentation practice and roleplays, it could be better than any games.

I'm always wary of having games for the sake of it after being through so many 'teambuilding' courses where they have you play silly games to 'motivate' you. The junior employees seemed to enjoy it, but anyone over the age of 25 felt like a tard running around blindfolded and stuff.

But something like scrabble and wordgames are always cool. Physical activity is healthy for learning, but I stress it must be done in a mature way.
