Product Description: As a sequel to the popular book "Team-Building Activities for Every Group" this book contains 107 more games and activities that promote team-building in an interactive and fun way. The games are new, different, experiential, exciting, easy to lead and require minimal resources.
With 61 "Team Up" activities and 46 activities to "Mix It Up," "Stir It Up" and "Open Up," there is something for every group, no matter where they are in the team-building process. The "Team Up" and "Open Up" games come with discussion prompts to help the leader facilitate a group discussion after each activity and increase the level of learning and insight. Each game in the book lists the objectives, materials needed, group size, and comes with an easy to read description. Many of the activities also include helpful variations to help tailor the game to fit any group no matter the size, age or skill level.
Whatever group you work with will find "More Team-Building Activities for Every Group" to be a valuable resource that will help turn any group into a team!
This book DOES offer more! 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.
More Pleasant Surprises 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.
