5.0 out of 5 stars A good source of games and ideas
Reviewed in the United States on August 29, 2016
Verified Purchase
This compendium of games is solid. It has almost all the games you will ever need when leading a group or a party game. It's got pages for you to copy. It should be noted there are games that you just do "on the fly" but with most group games you need some planning so yes, it will require you to use your time and brains. I've used games directly from the book and I've taken ideas from the book and created my own version. You need to know the group you are dealing with and the situation. A definitely good resource to have as a group leader.

4.0 out of 5 stars Some good ideas, but a little too much prep required for many
Reviewed in the United States on August 13, 2008
Verified Purchase
This book had several good, usable activities. Like all books of this type, you just have to weed through a few to get to one that will work for your particular group. I really like the grid at the beginning of the book that matches activities to intended purposes. The only complaint I had was that many of the activities required quite a bit of prep work up front--particularly in the form of photocopying handouts.

By the way, if you don't want to pay the hefty price tag, get "Quick Meeting Openers for Busy Managers." It's also pretty good (and no photocopying prep work!).

Both of these books are 100 times better than "the big book of icebreakers"! That one had very few worthwhile activities.

So so so so boring. And a huge heavy book. I was not impressed by these ice breakers. Ugh it makes me just want to cry the lack of creativity and originality...

3.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing
Reviewed in the United States on June 29, 2000
It was disappointing to find so few ideas for a group of 100 business people who don't know each other. Most of the activities are far too personal for such a group, involving sharing personal information or touching. In addition, many of the activities have no "closure": they simply end, leaving us to wonder, what was the purpose of THAT? Many of the activities would be fine for very informal gatherings where being silly (marching in a parade, charades, making a human octopus) and getting personal are appropriate. But business people--even my lighthearted group--expect some degree of professionalism and purpose associated with such activities.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good content, takes patience to read
Reviewed in Canada on August 24, 2018
Verified Purchase
This is a good-sized book with numerous activity ideas, mostly geared towards professional adult team-building. Some of the ideas are adaptable to other ages and situations and many (if not most) are unique. I bought several books as ice breaker activity resources at the same time and each was quite different and offered different ideas which I found useful. This was one of the books that I have used the least, even though there is a lot of content in there. The main reason I seldom used it is that it does not do a good job of giving the reader an idea of an activity IN BRIEF, so in order to understand the idea and what an activity is going to entail, you have to read a rather long and detailed description. If you're in a bit of a hurry and trying to review a lot of options before making a decision, this is a bit of a nuisance.
