Customer Reviews

Exact what I was looking for!
The book provided me with exact the information and suggestions I was looking for - clear text - clear information - easy to understand games - but level good enough to use for highly qualified adults - I put a few things straight into practice on two presentations - used both times different games and icebreakers - and response from participants on both occasions was great. I bought two books by error - handed one over to another course facilitator as a gift - and she is delighted with it as well.
If one is starting off or fed up with old games and icebreakers and is looking for suggestions, or ideas - this is the book to buy.

Superb resource book
I had this series of books before - loaned them out at work and never got them back (go figure!). Happy to have found them again here.

Even company money could be spent more effectively
For any medium to advanced trainer, group leader, or presenter, this book does not raise any new methods of improving audience participation. In fact, the "cheese" factor is enough to choke even the most discriminating mouse.

Having said that, if you're a beginner with little to no background in or exposure to group training, then this book may help give you a little head start to realize how to engage an audience through active participation.

It's only because of the potential to aide a beginner that I rated this a 2. Otherwise, it's sitting with a lone star.
