?The book contains a host of acitivities for grades from kindergaretn to all levels of high school....It is possible to use some of the games to learn about places, historical, and people, including multiculturlism. Each game outlines clearly just what the skill and curricular focus is; this is useful for beginning teachers, or teachers looking for curriculum approaches not usually found in their particular tools of trade....The game finder index shows at a glance the grade level, complexity, type, group size, space, and props required for each game....whatever the user's purpose, whether to entertain, to build group skills, or to teach values, communication, or a particular subject, one will find games easily adaptable to these varied needs.?-Australia Library Review
