History

Practice is commonly used in educational moments. When you visually show some object and talk about it, the information is remembered much better. In 1994, scientists proved that such involvement has a positive effect on the digestibility of the material. There is one difference – the specific date is adapted for adults, which means that if you work in an office, it can be used effectively! It is not known exactly when the methods were introduced into life. Perhaps they were popularized by a magazine published since 1954, its name is “Children’s Education”.

Show and Tell At Work Day was founded by Thomas and Ruth Roy – the couple have created many amazing holidays that truly have a soul. The goal is simple: to make a person feel like a child again, have fun and forget about the difficulties for at least 1 day. This is especially beneficial for people who work in active companies almost every day.
