Customer Reviews

Love this book!
I love this book. I love the size of it (just the right size to sneak into a handbag or briefcase), I love the feel of it (strange thing to say about a book, but as soon as you have it in your hands, you'll know exactly what I mean). But most of all, I love the content.

It is indeed a book of inspirational teaching activities - `inspirational' being the operative word. The activities are divided up like a pack of cards - the activities in the `diamond' section are all focussed on Believe in Yourself, the `hearts' - Know Your Strengths', `clubs', Have a Plan, `Spades', Go For It. There's even some fun activities in the `Joker' section, and a useful end section that covers NLP basics, and how they can be applied in the classroom.

The activities in the book are explained in simple terms, and each is prefaced with a little anecdote to illustrate why the activity is useful and what you will learn.

Whenever I work in schools or with groups of hard-to-engage learners, (or even with eager, motivated, real workshop-attending fee-paying, adults) I always slip this book into my bag. Why? Because I know that if I dry up, if I run out of steam, if I can't think of what to do for the last half hour, or if there are issues that require attention, I can dip into my Little Blue Book. And believe me, the answer is always there.

Whether you know nothing about NLP, or you are a seasoned expert, this book will not disappoint. It is funny, it is informative, it is packed with useful activities (some of them you could even try out at kiddies parties!), and everyone who works with groups of people of any age should have this book tucked away somewhere, for those moments when you need to inject a little more fun/activity/inspiration/humour/positivity/team spirit into your work.

Great little book
Great book. The main strength of it is not in the activities (most of which are good) but in the blub which goes with them. Lots of good explanations of NLP and metaphorical stories to make the reader at home with the concepts. Aimed primarily at the secondary school market.

inspiration for all
This is a truly inspirational book and you so have to try the PANTS game, the funniest thing i have ever done in a classroom in over 10 years!!!! A great book to have to hand for those moments when we all need some inspiration.

Well written and i like the idea that you can dip in and out of the activites or link them all together.

I use this almosevery week, a great addition to your book shelf.
