My bad for not seeing initially that this book was only 24 pages. While there are a few good ideas, many of them are recycled from past publications or other resources. For the inexperienced youth leader you may find some things you haven't done before, but if you've been around awhile, there's a lot of been-there-done-that ideas. Group usually produces very good resources. This is not one of them.
Solid book of games for the youth worker who is looking for a quick and simple goto. This book would be ideal for any youth ministry setting or any setting with people who want to get their "game on!" Right price, quick read, easy resource...10 STARS!!!!
The nice thing about this book is that there is no preparation needed for any of these games. The bad thing is that many of these games seem like "filler" games to me, meaning they don't seem like they would be all that fun (although, I admit, I haven't tried those that look boring) but would just be used as something to do to fill a time slot.
As a youth pastor, ice breakers and games are a part of ministry. Though they are not the most important aspect, they still should be done with creativity and excellance.This book is helpful with ice breakers and games because it is made easy! It gives 29 ideas and they are the type that do not require all the preparation. They really can be done with no sweet.The material could be helpful to a youth pastor, leader, or volunteer to ease up the burden of coming up with something fresh and new all the time.We do an ice breaker before Wednesday night service starts and the first game went over well with my group!
I work with Elementary age kids at a chuch. Out of thirty something games explained in the book about 25 of them are very relavent to kids and we have been able to use. It is a GREAT and CHEAP buy. As I said A MUST HAVE for youth and children church workers.
The ideas in here are common knowledge or easily found as you probably have been researching easy games. I would say look elsewhere for resources. If you want to have a easy handout for a youth pastor/leader starting then this is still a viable resource although there are better
This has a lot of great ideas. When I read through it I found myself thinking "why have I not come up with some of these...they are so simple". Simple but good. I think my high school kids in Bible study will enjoy these game ideas.
This 24 page booklet contains very basic games you can do anywhere, but many of the games are just variations of each other. If you already know 3 games/mixers, then you don't need this book. It is stapled, not bound, and thus not very durable. The games are appropriate for youth, but are not religous in nature and do not provide info about how to tie the games to a ministry message.
