About the Author:
Review:
Susan Ragsdale and Ann Saylor are nationally recognized trainers and program consultants in the youth and community development field. As cofounders of the Center for Asset Development, they have equipped youth and adults in agencies such as the YMCA of the USA, Americorps, and the Tennessee Department of Health. They are the coauthors of Building Character from the Start, Great Group Games, and Ready to Go Service Projects. Susan Ragsdale lives in Nashville, Tennessee. Ann Saylor lives in Pleasant View, Tennessee.
Discussion questions are one of the book's greatest strengths, personalizing a game's meaning for each person. Any leader of children's groups is sure to find games & inspiration in this excellent guide.
--Cathi Dunn MacRae, Youth Today Magazine
"Ragsdale and Saylor have done it again...and just in time. As children today tend to drift farther from humanistic play, the experiential, hands-on content of Great Group Games for Kids entices them back from the brink of button-pushing isolation. Purposeful play once again trumps electronic recreation. Well done, ladies. " Karl Rohnke, Author of Silver Bullets
"These team-building games would be great for classes, scout troops and church groups!" Janet, Youth Services Librarian
"This is a great resource for any adult who has occasion to interact with a group of kids who might need a quick game to either get their focus, keep their focus, or get them playing together. There are 150 games listed, and they vary from icebreakers to relay races to art games to large space games and even games with water balloons or marshmallows." The Magazine for Homeschool Families
