From the Back Cover
Nearly 400 more wild, creative games for guaranteed fun! - Baseball and Kickball Games . . . The national pastime is hereby turned on its ear by more nutty variations than you can shake a Louisville Slugger at. Plus other diamond games, like kickball. - Swimming Pool and Lake Games . . . Whether your water is a pond, pool, or Puget Sound, we've got contests, activities -- even a spectator Water Carnival (see page 117). - Wide Games . . . Got a few acres and a few hours to organize, strategize -- and then use stealth and cunning to infiltrate enemy lines, smuggle contraband through customs, or detect (and dispatch) aliens? These adventure games are perfect for camps and retreats! - Golf Games . . . You don't need manicured courses, motorized carts, or polyester pants. What you do need are people willing to golf with marshmallows, rubber bands, hula hoops, and croquet mallets. - Frisbee Games . . . Portable, ubiquitous, and supremely cool, flying discs hold hours of entertainment for your group. In fact, why not plan an entire day of Frisbee games? Plus . . . A bevy of relay races, outdoor games especially for large and small groups, 30-some soccer and hockey games, alternative football games, and enough water games (including water balloon games) to give your group a sopping good summertime!

Customer Reviews

the best resource for youth games
I've been looking through many youth ministry game books, including all the Group resources, and honestly, the Ideas (published by Youth Specialties) is better than the Group books. These games are more creative, organized and categorized better, and easier to do and explain. I also like that some of the pages can be photocopied. My junior highers really like the active games. Buy as many of the Ideas books as possible, it's a good investment.

Fun and easy to use!
This book is a part of an "Ideas Library" for those who do ministry. The games are perfect tools for getting a group to interact and have a riproarin' great time. Great for leaders of all kinds of groups. The games can be adapted to meet the needs of specific groups.

This book has wonderful fun games for you and your friends.
If you like fun this is the best kind of book you can get. The author of this book really knows what American Girl fans like. It'll have you playing all day. With this book in your hands, you'll never be bored again.
