4.0 out of 5 stars Is this book really worth its pricey tag?, 26 Aug 2002
By N Rogerson (Staffordshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
After being greatly impressed by the size of the box that this work arrived in I was a little disappointed by the rather cheap looking folder that was contained within. Indoor/Outdoor Team building games for trainers by Harrison Snow is presented in a large triple ring folder that at first glance looks like a standard undergraduate dissertation. However the way the work is presented and the price tag are both justified in the copyright blurb on the very first page.
Indoor/Outdoor is a not just a reference book but a step by step course for those who want to instruct their own team building sessions. As a result the price tag (which is £20 more than I am normally comfortable paying for a book) not only buys you the folder but also the right to make photocopies of relevant pages to distribute to those who attend your workshop, and what a workshop it’ll be!
Having spent the summer working as an outdoor pursuits instructor I was glad to see many of the best warm ups and ice breakers that I had already learnt succinctly described in a manner that transfers the necessary fun within which all team-building sessions should be framed. There’s enough problem solving exercises to keep even the most competent team busy for a least three days and each description is followed by a few generally excellent paragraphs on how to debrief after the exercise. Very few of the exercises need much preparation or investment in equipment and can be attempted by any able bodied person regardless of fitness.
Along with the individual tasks Snow has included a very readable section introducing a few management theories, the need for strong teams and the whole framework of trust, safety and fun within which good workshops must run. He concludes with some exercises that provide a review of the workshop and a few more management theories that are again very well presented.
Like most work on this subject Indoor/Outdoor can occasionally be a little “touchy feely” but never to a nauseating extent. Snow also occasionally makes the assumption that his audience is entirely from the US but although slightly annoying this in no way detracts from the overall excellent quality of his work. I wholeheartedly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in running their own sessions but also recommend that you either practice on your friends or shadow an experienced leader before instructing paying customers.

1.0 out of 5 stars Seriously, I could do better, 6 Jul 2008
By C. Lambah (Shrewsbury, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I should say from the outset that I've been a training and development professional for over a decade so I have quite some experience here.

This manual/book/thesis/document comes in a standard, four-hole ring binder. The pages are poor quality, black and white photocopies and not very good ones at that.
This may be of use to someone who has just set out in the industry but there was not one exercise that I did not already know of, or could have come up with on the morning of a programme.

I'm that unimpressed I'm thinking I could do miles better myself and may well. Watch this space!
