Training course contents:

As participants enter the event, provide each with a playing card. The participants should then mingle with other people in the room and attempt to find other people who have playing cards that help them make the best poker hand possible. This usually means that there will be five people in each group, although you can adapt this if need be.
The team with the best poker hand wins.
