"I have been using these activities for years - they are brilliant for generating a fantastic group climate.”

“These are great fun and we have even used them in staff training! The manual is used in our adult training centre at the start of most sessions. We have found them particularly beneficial at the start of formal training sessions because they encourage group participation and the ice-breaker activities build confidence with the participants prior to tackling difficult subjects.”
