4.0 out of 5 stars
lots of fun games, not much for small youth groups,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Games (Paperback)
I bought this book in hopes there would be some great games for my single digit youth group. But they consider "small" to be 30 or less, and we are WAY less, so there aren't many in there that will work for us.
That said, there are TONS of fun games for larger groups, young or old. I've loaned it to the group in charge of our all church camp out. It is a great resource for the church in general, so despite my disappointment in the youth group applications, I'm still glad I purchased it.

This review is from: Games (Paperback)
I use this (or Games 2 or 3) every Wednesday night for our youth group games, and I've found good special activity games in these books as well! They are a life saver and I recommend them to every youth leader who has a part in planning activities or games.
