There is a treasure trove of resources on generational differences available online from the Boston College Center on Aging and Work/Workplace Flexibility; see below for link. We have conducted several recent studies and more are in process.
Also, there are many role plays and other teaching resources available online from the Sloan Work-Family Research Network, also at Boston College: http://wfnetwork.bc.edu/. Look under Teaching and Training for teaching activities.

Hi colleagues:
Do any of you have an up-to-date survey about age differences (generational?) I have volunteered to lead a workshop on generational differences for non-profits in Savannah, GA. I'd also appreciate sources of role plays as well.
Many thanks and other suggestions are most welcome.
