Customer Reviews

Easy, fun and very effective
As a lecturer in business studies I found this book invaluable. It is very easy to use, well thought out and the games are fun while also being very instructive. After each game there is a list of suggested discussion questions which provide a greater insight into the objective of each game while helping the class discussion on its way. Many of the games can be adapted for use in meetings, seminars, lectures or presentations and I fully recommend it to anyone wanting to add a bit of variety to any of the above.

Some ideas for a low to mid level training
The book is easy to read and there are some nice ideas which can be used in a standard low to mid level training. There are some very well known ideas like the 9 dots exercise as well. Do not expect to find very interesting and mind bending exercises, but there are a couple good ones in different subjects.
