THE GAME AND PLAY LEADER'S HANDBOOK Revised Ed.
Facilitating Fun and Positive Interaction

Bill Michaelis and John M. O'Connell

The authors have combined their decades of experience leading workshops and events for the widest range of groups and settings to produce a handbook of leadership through playful interaction.  More than a theoretical guide, this book is a practical guide for leaders on how they can get fun to happen with real people in real situations.

A companion text to the How to Lead Games video, or great by itself, this play leadership book is ideal for both the novice and advanced play leader or program director

Hundreds of practical examples and techniques that you can begin to use immediately.  Though not a games book but a strategy manual, some "can't miss" games are included, as well as topics such as positive discipline, attention-getting techniques, dividing teams, managing safety, sparking enthusiasm and more.  High recommended by School Age Notes, the Journal of Park and Recreation Administration and Youth Today.
