Customer Reviews

The best I've seen.
This book was exactly what I was looking for to build teams with my middle schoolers. Many activities would also be useful with high schoolers or adults. I have a lot of the traditional games and team building activity books, but none were as well arranged or easy to use. Activities that use few or no props or items that are easy to find are what work best for me! This book is full of them!

Pleasant Surprise
I did not have high expectations when I purchased this book. I honestly had hoped to discover at least three "keeper" activities. What a pleasant surprise. I have already used more than three solid activities and I have several more I plan on using in the near future. The downside: the descriptions lack the style of Karl Rohnke and there are no illustrations or diagrams. On the plus side: the descriptions are clear and understandable and the price is a bargain compared to other activity focused books. Whether you are an experienced facilitator or someone looking for your first resource book, this selection is a terrific value.

Team-Building Games
What a great book! I am a high school teacher, and I'm not only trying to teach my students about literature and grammar, but also about teamwork, cooperation, and communication skills. This book has lots of activities that are divided into 4 levels from learning peoples' names to really opening up and sharing personal stuff. The instructions are easy to understand, and most require little preparation and supplies that you usually have around (pens, paper, tape, chairs, etc.) The book is well-organized beyond the 4 activity levels as well; for each game, the author clearly states the objective, the needed materials, instructions, and variations on the activities. For the second two levels, she also includes excellent discussion questions. It seems to me that these activities would really work with ANY group. Well worth the investment.
