2.0 out of 5 stars Even More Games, November 26, 2000

By	Karl O. Broman (Houston, TX USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Like a Rocky sequel, this book doesn't get it. It would be useful with children and young adults, but I could not use it with high functioning adults. Had I not been in a hurry, and had reviewed the book, I would not have purchased it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Superb resource book, May 2, 2007

By	J. Braun "Eeyore_jb" (Midwest) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I had this series of books before - loaned them out at work and never got them back (go figure!). Happy to have found them again here.

4.0 out of 5 stars Recipe for one WILD office Xmas party, December 18, 2002

By	Darren Bedwell (Indiana USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

After we heard what a crazy holiday party the auditor's office was planning, our agency was determined to outdo them, so we hurriedly formed a committee to study the problem and suggest workable plans of action. After rejecting several alternative ideas (such as duckpin bowling and tea at the state museum) we decided to really cut loose and order pizza at lunch time. Supplemented with soft drinks from the machine in the lobby, no less! Everything was set for the best holiday party ever.
When (after days of waiting) the magical day and hour arrived, we all sat down to enjoy our lunchtime celebration when the realization hit: the only way we were going to have fun and interesting conversation was if we actually talked to each other!!
For a few agonizing minutes we silently munched on our pizza and considered the grim situation, until (in a moment reminiscent of the deus ex machina device of Greek theatre) one of our number arrived late, a Santa cap jauntily perched on his head, an easel and flip chart under one arm, and THIS BOOK under the other (he had a magic marker too, but I don't really remember where he was carrying that - perhaps in his pocket protector?). The party was saved!
Now when the folks from the auditor's office show off this year's crop of photocopies of their faces and other body parts, we'll have some stories to tell them about how much fun a REAL party can be.
