I had the pleasure of reading this book when a friend lent it to me for my girl scout troop meeting. We tried a couple of the activites and the kids had a wonderful time playing the games. I had to order a copy. The games promote cooperation and team work. The book is easy to read and appropriate for both young and old.

I am a day care provider, and my children were thrilled with all the stuff we found inside this book. All of the materials were easy to get too. I highly recommend it to any teacher of preschoolers and up; and to every day care provider.

I really didn't find this book very useful. Some of the ideas are good but most of them are just very, very slight variations on each other. As for the good ideas, you can find those in many other books, along with many more useful ones. Skip this and use The Instant Curriculum, which is wonderful.
