5.0 out of 5 stars Oodles of fun with Noodles, June 27, 2000

By	Cherylynn Desjardins (Canada) - See all my reviews

I am now known as the noodle lady which pretty sums me up in two words. As Training Manager for a busy inbound call center with lots of client training programs, I am forever trying to make work fun.

With bright foam water noodles, we're doing that! Creating zoodles of fun at work, we're smiling, we're happy, we're laughing and learning to work together and that of course will translate well to our callers when our customer service agents are back on the phones fresh from training. Yeah!

Of course this is now keeping me on my toes so hopefully there's a Noodles2 in the works.

Thanks and toodles!

3.0 out of 5 stars Hard to get Noodles, May 1, 2001

By	Rhapado Quick Reference Guides "rhapado" - See all my reviews

Although this book has a lot of good ideas, I would caution people that it's difficult to get the noodle toys in bulk. This initially seems easy, but buying them at a regular toy store is expensive and you'll need a lot for the book's activities. Also, don't expect to find any in the winter time.

I suggest checking you get a "noodle-source" before getting this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun and Effective Team-Building, January 5, 2007

By	D. Stocker (Champaign, IL) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

50 Ways to Use Your Noodle offers fun activities to use with groups of people, build teams, and have a great time. I've used the activities with various age groups from junior high through adults and all enjoyed the activities. The follow-up discussions really helped open participants' eyes to new situations or ways of approaching challenges. Easy to follow instructions and fun reading. The biggest challenges faced with using these materials are deciding which of the fun activities to use and finding space to keep all of the noodle supplies between trainings! :-)
