This classic from Bob Pike contains 101 mind stimulating game activities from the Creative Training Techniques Newsletter. These fast action games can be quickly and easily launched with any size group. Each game lists training objective, time, materials required and "The Exercise in Action".
Whether it be for creating a training or just adding some fun to one that already exists, this book gives great ideas on how to get the audience engaged. I found the topic applications to be very helpful and the fact that these were all tested by trainers was a plus in my mind. I have already used two of them with great sucess.
Great resource

I have used several of these games with great success. Most are intelligent and fun, unlike several other books I have read. The organization of the book is a little odd but that's only a minor complaint. It's still fairly easy to find what I'm looking for.
Very Good but needs some re-organization

A small book that is very popular among trainers. The Games and activities are chosen from the Creative Training Techniques Newsletter (By Bob Pike) and are suitable for a variety of topics and situations. The activities are very eclectic and many are unique since they are contributed by different people. The presentation is also very clear. However, the one thing that the book lacks is a topical index so that you can check the type of the activity and its suitability to different training topics and areas: You have to go through the whole book looking for the icebreakers, the activities, etc. and the areas that they suitable for.

While looking for a variety of training games I came across this book. What I like about this book is that it offers a variety of games for different situations. Whether looking for an opener or a team-building event, I can find an activity to go with a multitude of topics. It's often difficult to come up with enough activities to go with your presentation. I like this book because it had so many options for me to choose from without using the same one over and over again.
