Customer Reviews

Excellent book for trainers in need of inspiration!
This is a brilliant book for trainers needing fun games to inspire their learners!

Games from this book can be adapted very successfully. It's easy to read, and offers help from improving your training techniques (a bit cheesy!), through to evaluating the training session.

Good for anyone involved in training in the workplace - new or experienced.

Waste of money
I got maybe 3 useful things from the entire book. It is very American in style/language/content. Some games are explained in painstaking detail, including scripted parts (which I can't imagine anyone being lame enough to actually say).
