This review is from: Crowd Breakers and Mixers 2 (Paperback)

If you are a youth worker and need a book of tested and workable crowd breakers and mixers you will want to pick up a copy of this book. "Crowd Breakers and Mixers 2" is divided into sections on Mixers, Meeting Opener Games, Food Games, Word Games and Quizzes, Stunts and Wide Games, and Whole Group Participation. Each one of these sections has literally dozens if ideas and instructions to get teenagers thinking and working together. I've used some of the ideas presented here and they have worked flawlessly. Perhaps the thing that makes this book more useful than most "mixer" type idea books is that the suggestions are not just ideas someone thought up but are actually contributed from youth workers around the country and represent those ideas that have worked best for them. So, it is a collection of what has already proven successful instead of a collection of unproven ideas. The bottom line here is if you are looking for something that works then this is the book you will want. It is a highly recommended purchase for anyone dealing with youth groups.
