Book Review: 101 Games for Trainers - by Bob Pike


"Learning is directly proportional to the amount of fun you have." - Bob Pike's "Law #3 of Adult Learning"



If your participants are going to learn and retain information, injecting fun into your classroom is imperative. 101 Games for Trainers is your source book for making that fun happen.

In it, you'll find dozens of games, exercises, and activities specifically designed to..

  • Develop communication skills.
  • Promote teamwork.
  • Break the ice and grab participants' attention.
  • Bring a weary group back to life.
  • lead an audience through a spirited, comprehensive review session.
  • Address the special concerns of certain topical courses, including orientation training, diversity training, customer service training, sales training, and more.

You'll be able to administer all these activities in very little time at very little cost. And, since they represent the very best of the tactics tried by trainers just like you in corporate classrooms, you know these activities are sure to be a hit.

101 Games for Trainers is one in a series of books, all based on the thousands of tips collected by renowned trainer Bob Pike and published in Creative Training Techniques Newsletter.
