5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Resource Book, September 26, 2003

By	Mark R. Kaser (Indianapolis, IN USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Months before "Raptor" was published, Sam Sikes presented a custom workshop for our facilitation team. We had the opportunity to experience many of the activities featured in this book as participants. Since, I have been fortunate to facilitate many of the activities. I'm not sure which experience has been better.

Experienced facilitators who purchase this book are almost certain to be thrilled. A plethora of new, dynamic, versatile activities are well described. The mousetrap activities alone justify the purchase of this book. New hula hoop challenges, an excellent newspaper activity, co-facilitation tips and much, much more. Also, for those familiar with Sam's previous books, Raptor features significantly more photos.

In a previous review I stated I am satisfied with discovering three "keeper" activities when I purchase a new resource book. I am overjoyed with the dozens of "keepers" in this publication. Do yourself a favor, stop reading my review and read Raptor.

I have used several of the games in the book. I especially enjoyed the game 'Raptor'. I believe I will have many, many more uses for the games in this book. If you want to check me out, look on page 159 for me doing the McAbee move. I can also perform it on any hot chicks!!
