Not many real games,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Big Book of Motivation Games (Paperback)
I was disappointed with this one. The Big Book of... series tends to be hit-and-miss. This one's a miss. There seems to be a shortage of actual games, and a lot more ideas for how to get a good healthy discussion about Topic X. If that's all you need, this may be a good one. I was looking for actual games and activities...found a lot of them in Miller's Quick Teambuilding Activites for Busy Managers. But all the activities in that book are short, so if you need anything to last more than 15-20 minutes, try Ukens' All Together Now--some of them are longer (for retreats and other long meetings).

Nice ideas, but I couldn't find any game that would possibly motivate my audience.

This review is from: The Big Book of Motivation Games (Paperback)
I utilize this book quite often to kick off sales meetings and have found the exercises to be fun and always with a point. My groups seem to enjoy them as well. This is a great book for people who needs ideas, but tend to run out of them.

Not at all what was expected,
By Very Disappointed - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Big Book of Motivation Games (Paperback)
The book contains nothing that will be of value to our organization. In fact, most aren't really games at all. I was looking for some fun activites to motivate the staff and I should have spent the money from this book on cookies instead!
