Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Best New Games is the only book available that presents New Games. These cooperative, interactive games are for groups of all ages and abilities-and they're meant to be played just for fun.
Author Dale Le Fevre is a leading authority on New Games. In many of his workshops, traditionally adversarial groups have come together to play and have fun: Arabs and Israelis in the Middle East; Catholics and Protestants in Northern Ireland; mixed races in South Africa; and Serbs, Croats, and Muslims in Croatia and Serbia. In Best New Games, Le Fevre presents the most popular New Games (including many recently found games) from more than 25 years of presenting.
This complete resource makes creating play sessions effortless. You'll find an easy-to-use Gamefinder that helps you quickly select the ideal game for your particular situation, plus tips to give you confidence and increase your effectiveness in leading the games. The author's stories of firsthand experiences demonstrate the impact that New Games can have in building cooperation, teamwork, and common understanding.
Best New Games is a great resource for anyone involved with groups-at any level and in any setting. Use New Games to create opportunities for people of all ages and abilities to have fun together while being physically and mentally active.
From the Publisher
"Best New Games is worth having on your bookshelf just for its collection of excellent games that are so clearly explained. Additionally, Best New Games gives great tips for activity leaders on how and when to present the games, and points out potential safety considerations. This is a valuable resource for any group activity leader."
Todd Strong Columnist, JUGGLE magazine Co-Author of Parachute Games
"Each of the more than eighty games in this collection is highly playworthy, genuinely fun and often deeply funny. Le Fevre goes to great lengths to describe everything a play leader needs to know in order to make the game a success: age appropriateness, skills developed, safety instructions, variations, and when the game works best during a New Games event."
