The Good Games Book – group activities for young people
Good games are a great way to encourage young people to break the ice and get to know each other. Whether playing in large or small groups, a carefully planned game activity can break down a range of potential barriers creating a neutral territory in which all young people can meet as equals.
'Positive play' is an important part of young people's development. Through games, role-play and teamwork they can develop their social skills, interact more effectively, and of course have lots of fun. Divided into three sections, this easy-to-follow collection includes games that require no equipment and can be played anywhere, as well as more involving exercises that will need more preparation.
