Leading games is an art. Especially when you are leading games for large groups. Especially for very large groups - like, say, 1000 people. An art that can set the tone for an entire day or weekend or weeklong conference - for just about any organization, profit or non, kids or grown-ups. An art that requires years to master and that only a master player can teach.

Unless you happen to have a copy of this book - an impressively extensive, well-organized, carefully detailed, and often minutely scripted facilitation guide to games and exercises for large groups.

The authors are all themselves master players - and their mastery, based on years of direct experience leading large groups, is deep enough to have been built on the wisdom of other master players, including some of the leading thinkers in experiential education and group facilitation, and, in some small part, those of the people who carried on the work of the New Games Foundation, which includes the mastery of in some other small part, mine.

Sikes, Evans and Cavert are some of the best teambulders around,wonderful to have insights from all three.The book actually covered more than I needed ( philosphy of experiential ed., co-facilitation,pre-group work sheet..but all were very imformative!) which would make it a great resource for some one new to leading activities with groups. I found a fair amount of new activities,appreciated the variations that were always offered and the time it generally took to run the activity.There are great quotes thruout the book that I really enjoyed to use for group processing.The book is worth the price especially for a new facilitator!
