4.0 out of 5 stars lots of fun games, not much for small youth groups, May 27, 2007

By	Jennifer Olsen "JenO" (Portland, OR USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Amazon Verified Purchase

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Material, November 25, 2008

Youth Specialties have hit another home run with this games book. Ideas are presented across the spectrum for large and small groups, and every other conceivable need for games.
