Plan a half-day workshop with timings and activities
Turn a topic and a goal into a minute-by-minute session plan with activities, materials and a quick check that people learned it.
When to use it
Whenever you need a new session
Step by step
Decide what people should be able to do
Write two or three things learners should be able to do by the end, in plain words, plus who they are and how many will attend.
Ask for a full session plan
Paste this prompt into your AI assistant.
Prompt to copyPlan a [3.5-hour] in-person workshop on [topic] for [number] [role, experience level]. By the end they should be able to: [outcome 1], [outcome 2], [outcome 3]. Mix formats: short input, pair work, a group exercise, a discussion and one hands-on practice. Give a table with: start time, length, activity, what the trainer does, what learners do, materials needed. Include a 10-minute opener, two breaks, and a 10-minute close where learners show they can do each outcome. Keep any single talk section under 15 minutes.Make it yours
Paste the table into Google Docs and swap in your own stories and examples from the workplace. Ask the AI to shorten or stretch the plan if your time slot changes.
Get a materials list
Ask the same chat for a checklist of everything to print, set up or bring, so nothing is missed on the day.
What you get
09:30 (10 min) Opener: pairs share one call that went badly. 09:40 (15 min) Input: the 4-step calm reply. 09:55 (25 min) Practice in threes with scenario cards... Materials: scenario cards x12, flipchart, timer.
Tips
- Ask for an online version of the same plan too, with breakout rooms and polls, so you are ready if the session moves to video.
