Product Review
Training Games is a 'must' for trainers who want to enliven and educate their audiences. This book offers facilitator-friendly activities guaranteed to energize and engage all participants in the learning experience. The eleven-game sampler is worth the price of the book! --Karen Lawson, President, Lawson Consulting Group, Inc.

I cannot decide which part of this book I like best: the collection of simple but effective training games, or the step-by-step tips, tools, and guidance for game design selection, preparation, and facilitation. Bravo, Steve and Jennifer! I wish I had this book when I started using training games. It certainly would have made my learning easier. --Sivasailam "Thiagi" Thiagarajan, The Thiagi Group

This book is well organized with all the information you need for total confidence and competence in implementing games for learning. Steve Sugar and Jennifer Whitcomb have produced an easy to use, basic primer that not only explains why to use games, but also provides the key aspect of games selection, facilitation, and execution. Training Games is a great resource for every trainer. --Mike Doctoroff, Chairman, Trainers Warehouse
