This is the most impressive book about teamwork I've seen so far. It is specific, clear and easy to understand. The exercises are explained step by step. It also analyzes the risks and provides guidance on scenarios that might be better implemented, that is more appropriate population
Unreservedly recommend this book. In any facilitator, group leader, civic, educational or corporate you should miss this book in your library

As an OD consultant, I have read many books on team building activities. From most books I typically like one out of five exercises. Games Trainers Play Outdoors is awesome! I like every exercise. They are practical and open to adaptations as needed by the audience. I strongly recommend it.

I stumbled across this book and found it to be quite a treasure. I am a youth leader for our church and found these games to be ideal for building unity and having fun together. There are 75 games in all. The games are well illustrated and explained clearly. This is a great resource for fun, purpose-filled games for many age groups.
