Making Fun Out of Nothing at All: 101 Great Games That Need No Props (Second Edition)

Making Fun Out of Nothing at All: 101 Great Games That Need No Props helps you be prepared to lead activities at any time and in any place, without worrying about having the right type of equipment. The book contains 101 activities that can each be used to fill free time constructively, to set the mood for a program, or to simply have fun. Or you can combine them to create a complete recreation program that could fill an hour or more. The activities are grouped in the book according to categories, such as mixers and party starters, group games, circle games, mind games, drama games, and group builders. The second edition features new games, variations of some tried-and-true favorites, and photographs for some of the games that are difficult to describe. A great resource for both new and experienced leaders.
