Role plays provide a highly motivational climate because participants are actively involved in a realistic situation.
Role play gives participants an understanding of the client's situation.
Make participants aware of the communication skills needed to counsel a client about family planing by asking them to assume the roles of the client seeking contraception and a family planning counselor. Reinforce a session on coaching skills by asking participants to prepare and present a role play demonstrating the coaching process during a minilaparotomy. It may be drawn from participant or trainer experiences or clinical records. The situation should be relevant and similar to situations that participants will encounter. Ensure that there is a problem or point of conflict in the role play.
