Training with commercialized games

• Problem solving ability training can be done by using the Blue Marble Game or the London Board Game.
• Such game trainings may help to improve problem solving ability while having fun.

The Blue Marble Game

1. Split game money evenly.
2. Roll two dices and sum numbers on the tops of two dices.
3. Move around the board as many spaces as the numbers summed.
4. Buy or built properties (buildings, houses, or hotels).
5. Raise money by selling properties to the bank or taking rent or toll fee.
6. End the game when all players become bankrupt except one player, the winner.

Role-playing

• Role-playing may help to enhance problem solving ability by educating effective responses appropriate for a given problem situation.
• A role-play scenario reflecting a real-life situation can be more helpful: “What if you smell something burning from next door and when you knock on the door, no one answers?”
