After teaching in elementary classrooms for over 15 years, I thought I had seen and read it all when it comes to games. And to be quite honest, I was typically pretty disapointed........until a friend showed me this one. All the games have simple rules, require minimal materials (all of which can be easily found around even the most minimally equiped house) and are downright fun for all ages! These games address all the common buzz-words we teachers look for, such as developmentally appropriate, mulit-aged and sensory stimulation and integration. And Gunter hasn't forgotten about all the common buzz-words kids look for like laughing, giggling, silly and fun, fun, fun. Buy this book and you will be the best parent/teacher/scout leader/care provider/group facilitator on the block!

Working with youth lately I have ordered a lot of different books on games and my mom has picked some up for me as well. I bought this book because a teacher reviewed it and said it was a good book. When I got it I was not disappointed. It has some pretty standard, typical games, and of course some you may not be able to play with your group, but a lot of the games are fun and can be played with a lot of different age groups. It's written for younger kids - in the style/context - but I could imagine even using some of them for adults, and deffinitely for teens.
