This collection of duck activities has a strong fun element, however, we do not want it to sound like it is all just fun. There is, in fact, a wealth of solid theory that forms the basis of why we developed this stream of uses for six bricks in business and learning environments. The idea of using playful methods for a range of purposes to generate innovative thinking is not new. For centuries, people have used artifacts like totems and puppets to tell stories and share information, beliefs, and knowledge. We also know that many facilitators and trainers are using tools such as design thinking and agile methodologies where prototyping and games play an important role in the processes of thinking and creating. Whatever your goal, using 3D models is a great facilitation tool. It allows you to lead people through a process where they are able to examine their inside world and relate these lessons to their work environment. These insights then lead to opportunities for further exploration and discovery and ultimately, more productive and effective communication.

I just returned from completing the Certified Facilitator using the LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® method course taught by Robert Rasmussen; I was searching on desertcart to purchase additional duck pieces when I came upon your book. Wow, am I lucky. I've already identified several activities that I'm going to introduce into an Agile workshop I am conducting in Fredericton, Canada next week. Thank you so much for having the courage and desire to write and publish this book. Hopefully, we'll see more publications from you as well. Review: Anyone can be a duck - This was an easy read, though more rewarding are the exercises that can be done during many kinds of group settings, with the right (or comparable) supplies.

Anyone can be a duck
This was an easy read, though more rewarding are the exercises that can be done during many kinds of group settings, with the right (or comparable) supplies.

Who the DUCK would not buy a copy?
I'll just say this. If you're an LSP facilitator, you need this book. Unlike other books on LSP where they try to make you buy the book thinking you will be able to teach the process when you're done, this book doesn't do that. It gives you great theory and builds/tips for using the 'ducks' in your sessions. I love this book. I highly recommend.

The rhyming poetry didn't offer much to me and wish we had been given more substance instead.
I'm frustrated with this purchase. Photos were great and there were a few fun activities listed but there was a lot of repetition that could have been reduced. We could have gotten variations of the exercises instead of pages and pages of variations. For this price I expected more activities. The rhyming poetry didn't offer much to me and wish we had been given more substance instead.

Disaster
This is not a book. Not at all. I was stupid enough to pay the double price to get it faster. Just received. The only valuable part (I hope) is the Reference List. I am so disappointed.

Muitas opções para algo simples
Esse livro me surpreendeu pela quantidade de práticas que são possíveis com apenas 6 peças de Lego. A metodologia Serious Play tem em seu DNA a mão na massa e esse livro reflete isso, vários exemplos de dinâmicas a serem feitas com a mão na massa, ou melhor dizendo, nos blocos de montar.

Useful exercizes but not everyhing LEGO SERIOUS PLAY
The book offers several interesting challenges that can be done using the duck-bricks. It can really be useful for facilitating groups, getting people to interact, improving teamwork, et cetera. But although the introduction of the book is on LEGO SERIOUS PLAY, half of the challenges in the book are not really LSP. To give one example: one of the main characteristics of LSP is that LEGO-models are used as a metaphor. But several exercises in the book are nothing about assigning meaning to the material, but just about using them as part of a cooperative playful exercise. Still useful off course.

Rien à redire
Bonne surprise, la commande est arrivée avec presque une semaine d'avance ce qui est toujours plaisant, même lorsqu'il n'y a pas d'urgence.

This "Strategic Play" is a highly helpful, highly suggestive book!
僕はLEGO®シリアスプレイ・メソッドの認定ファシリティターの資格を持っていて、ワークショップで、Duckのブロックを活用したセッションを導入部分でよく行う。この「Strategic Play」は、認定ファシリティターにとっても非常に役立つ、示唆に富んだ書籍である。 I am qualified as an authorized facilitator for the LEGO® Serious Play method. In the workshop, I often do session using Duck 's block at introduction part. This "Strategic Play" is a highly helpful, highly suggestive book for authorized facilitator.
