Quicksilver: Adventure Games, Initiative Problems, Trust Activities and a Guide to Effective Leadership

I ordered these books for our volunteer coaches. Great books highly recommend them to help those who want to learn and those who want to teach.

Love it!

I needed this book for one of my recreation and leisure courses and it is a great book filled with group/team related activities. The book was in good condition.

Karl Ronke is the man! I wish all of his books were still in print. If you are into team building/low ropes initiatives, or if you need to get your team communicating and working together this book is for you. Very well written, easy to read and the pictures from the '80s are hilarious!

I have used many of the team challenges in this book in my work in youth ministry and public education. There are ideas for everything from ice-breakers to large group challenges that are very effective for building community and encouraging people to work together toward a common goal while having fun at the same time. While some of the ideas require more complex props, many can be done with items you have readily available around the house or office. All of the ideas would work as effectively with youth or adults in a variety of settings. Best of all, the text is written in Rohnke's witty style that makes reading about the games almost as fun as playing them.

When you are starting as an experiential education consultant you should read this first book to understad waht ropes courses and adventure activities can do among groups and persons. It is a serious and clear describer of a system to achieve the peoples tasks in a group rising activity. It is a fun and thankfull tool for learning about ropes courses. I read it once each 3 months to remember all the steps the author gives to get to the goal on a group...

I was just starting out leading a team building group and I found this book to be an incredible help. With some creativity, almost all of the activities can be adapted for adolescents and done in-doors. The section on leadership was good but a little simplistic. Regardless I consult this book almost every week and do not know what I'd do with out it!!! I highly reccomend it!

This is another Karl Rohnke winner. If you work with experiential learning (either with kids or adults) this is a great book to have in your library. This book contains a lot of old activities as well as some new ones. As with a lot of experiential activities -- it's great to have the procedure written out. This book is well worth the price.

I bought this after it was recommended on an Outdoor Learning course. Easy to read, informative and lots of ideas I have taken from it.
