3.0 out of 5 stars More Pleasant Surprises, October 21, 2002

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

The sequel to "Team Building Activities for Every Group" is another decent activity resource book by Alanna Jones. I was pleasantly surprised by the first and equally happy with this publication.

Some of the similarities are unfortunate. Like the first book, there are few diagrams and illustrations. Also, several of the activities might have been better served with more detailed descriptions. Finally, those with access to other experiential activity resource books will discover several renamed, recycled selections. For example, what you may know as "bull ring" becomes "ball ring" in this publication.

The good news? The book provides a number of decent, portable, no-props - low props, experiential activities. The majority of the 107 descriptions are clear and concise. Discussion prompts and activity variations are included whenever appropriate. Finally, when compared to other more costly publications or poor quality books, "More Team Building Activities" is a terrific value.

If you have experience facilitating groups you will almost certainly discover (or rediscover) activities to enhance your programs. I anticipate this selection becoming a frequently referenced book in our program's resource library.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book DOES offer more!, February 16, 2003

By A Customer

I use the book "Team-Building Activities for Every Group" all the time and found this book is full of just as many new and great activities, if not more! This book seems to have more active games and a wider variety of new games! I use this book for my church group, soccer team and at the ropes course where I am a facilitator.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent! , March 16, 2009

By	Meaghan Bradshaw (Miami, FL) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

it's a great book with lots of ideas for large and small groups. My university students love the activities and it really assists with leadership development! Many of the activities can be played without expensive materials, which is great with budget cuts.
