Ha. As a fellow teacher, although based in the UK, I have had my time wasted at so many of these over the years, it may be a worldwide phenomenon!

Brain Gym!
Learning styles!

Current ones involve feeding back using different coloured pens.

As a result, we developed various games to play, in these meetings, my favourite was Bulls**t Bingo:

Each participant picks 5 -10 "Educational" buzz words/phrases that are in common usage.

Whenever the meeting lead drops one of these key phrases, cross it off, the winner is the first to cross off all of their words.

It's also good for staff meetings.

Other favourites include inserting lyrics from pop songs into all of our responses to the trainer, for bonus points, they should all be from the same band.

I think I could get a full summer back, if I added up all of my wasted hours from this sort of thing.
