Format:Paperback
This is a brilliant book for trainers needing fun games to inspire their learners!
Games from this book can be adapted very successfully. It's easy to read, and offers help from improving your training techniques (a bit cheesy!), through to evaluating the training session.
Good for anyone involved in training in the workplace - new or experienced.

Format:Paperback
I got maybe 3 useful things from the entire book. It is very American in style/language/content. Some games are explained in painstaking detail, including scripted parts (which I can't imagine anyone being lame enough to actually say).
Format:Paperback
Some good ideas but they are based on American culture which proved less than useful when I tried them out with british students. The old adage of 2 countries separated by a common language! Might be better if it had been anglicised.
