– They think I can not succeed.
– You didn’t invite me to the wedding, you don’t care about me.

NLP meta model games

1 Practicing Deletions

Needed: NLP Clients cards + NLP Coach Deletion Cards

Mode: Single Player (can be altered for multi-player easily.)

Instructions:

1. Remove the “generalization” and “distortion” cards from the coach cards.

2. Take the first client card sentence.

3. Try to get rid of one coach deletion card.

4. Take the next client card sentence.

5. Try to get rid of one other coach deletion card.

6. Keep repeating until you feel you have memorized all the coach deletion cards. The put the coaching cards aside entirely.

7. Continue to pay the game without your NLP coach card training wheels.

You can play this game practicing the distortions and the generalizations as well.

2 A card a day

Needed: NLP Coach Cards

Mode: Single Player

Instructions:

Each day select one coach card.

1. Memorize the coach card. And spend 5 minutes reflecting on what are the type of sentences you would use this meta model card for.

2. In your typical day, consider what conversations you will do one-on-one, will do with groups, what written information you will likely end up reading, or what communications you are present for as non-participant and as a listener/observer only (watching TV, attending a lecture.) Make very conscious that you will practice and use this card today any opportunity you can.

3. Consider taking a picture and put it on your phone screensaver.

4. Use the sentence everywhere you can engaging in conversations. And when you aren’t an active participant, imagine where you could ask it if you were to be able to participate in a conversation.

This game can easily be altered by using two or three NLP coaching cards.

3 All about speed

Needed: NLP Coach Cards & NLP Client Cards

Mode: Multi-player

Instructions:

1. Divide all the NLP coaching cards among the players.

2. Reveal the first client card.

3. Player one tries to get rid of one of their cards.

4. Player two etc. Until the client cards meta model violations are exhausted.

5. Repeat.

6. The game ends when one player has gotten rid of all of their NLP coaching cards.

This game can be altered by instituting the rule that when a player tries to get rid of an NLP coaching card wrongly, he or she must draw 3 new NLP coaching cards.
