We have taken this experiential classic a step further. By adding some great new stuff and reformatting the text, this informative and practical guide to activity-based counselling is easier than ever to use with groups seeking adventure within traditional small group settings. The original "Games for Group" included 32 different 5-10 minute activities, over 200 "What would it be like...?" questions, Teaching Tales, and Minute Mysteries to assist you in charging up your group.

The age for this book has been 12 and older, but this doesn't mean your creativity can't change them enough to work for younger ages. Each activity is a catalyst for topical discussions.
