For US students only!.......2007-07-08
I teach English to children in France and this book has very little content geared for my needs and not worth the $12 I spent. I love to teach with mini-books that I create myself, so I was drawn to the title. However, I found the ones offered here very dull, i.e. copying number words, rather than engaging their creativity by having them illustrate the number word. Other mini-books teach the Pledge of Allegiance, This Land is Your Land, and writing the alphabet - also not appropriate for my needs. But as someone who is always looking for appropriate clip art for my lessons, I agree with the other reviewers that the illustrations are appealing and helpful for teaching basic vocabulary, and can be used in many ways.
Excellent.......2006-03-10
I used this book to teach 2nd graders of an Elementary school in Mexico. They loved the activities!
Beginning ESL.......2005-09-14
Although this book is more for children, there are some pages I was able to use for my adult ESL course. There are some nice diagrams along with good ideas on how to begin a level one class.
Invaluable resourse.......2004-07-31
I recently taught ESL in China for a few weeks and found this book incredibly useful. Although marketed as being for grades 1-4, I found this book helpful for even high school students--it depends more on the level of language proficiency than anything else. For example, I used the "parts of the body" page to review what my students already knew, and then they filled in more complicated words such as thigh, shoulder, ankle, etc. The money page has very realistic drawings of the various coins, all of which were new to my students. The food pages were very helpful before moving on to more complicated lessons on ordering in a restaurant. A great book for a modest price!
Excellent for Young Learners!.......2003-04-27
As a teacher of young learners, I struggle to find resources that truly meet the needs of my students, most of whom are just beginning to read and write in English. This book, however, has proven to be a goldmine. Kids and parents alike love the make-and-take books, while I love the flexibility of each unit. I've used the simple drawings to make charts, flashcards, games, etc. to accompany thematic units and have even used a few of the worksheets to review basic concepts with older kids. I'm giving the book a four instead of a five because the unit topics are quite basic. Once students know colors, numbers, letters, shapes, body parts, basic food items, and basic school terminology, this book basically goes back on the shelf until you get your next room full of beginners. But if you teach young learners with limited language skills, this book is a must have.

General Summary.......1999-11-24
The New Games Book is a highly applicable text that provides a vast array of ides for improving social interaction as well as participation in activities. This book possesses a number of exercises that can generate group dynamics as well as provide interesting knowledge in the area of interpersonal and intrapersonal intelligence.
Each exercise found in this text is categorized for easy usage. The activities are arranged according to the number of people needed to conduct it. Also, every activity has explicit directions that describe how the games are to be set up. Therefore, anyone with little experience in dealing with dramatic material should have no problems adjusting.
Lastly, one of the most valuable features of this book is its practical usage. The vast majority of the exercises are easily mountable and applicable. The only thing you must watch for is the amount of room necessary for many of the games found in its pages.

Even More 5 Minute Mysteries.......2007-03-29
Great for use in the classroom any time during my mystery unit. The students love trying to puzzle out the answers. Even when the answers are easy, they delight in hearing them.
so so.......2006-01-09
A fun read but many of the solutions can only be solved if you have a very expanded knowledge of everything, such as the natural habits of cows and turtles, etc. Also, many of the solutions are "probable" and not clear black and white solutions. It is still easy reading and worth the time.
Nicely written book.......2000-10-18
I love books like this, even though I can very rarely solve the mysteries. What I like about the books in this series is that unlike some mysteries, where key elements aren't revealed, the stories give you all the information you need to solve them. This is a great book for anyone who is a fan of mysteries, short stories, or both.

A Super Book!.......2001-12-05
I was hosting two parties in one week: one for a group of my children's friends (teens and pre-teens) and another for a group of my own friends (Gen X'ers and Baby Boomers). There were so many varied games in this book that both groups had a great time. Instructions are easy to follow and the games are all instantly addictive. If you're looking for something beyond the typical board games you'll find at most parties, this is perfect for you. Most games require only players and their brains, a few others require pen and pencil. No matter what, everything we played from this book was a lot of fun. Highly recommended!
Praise for SPG.......2000-04-10
I was in charge of entertaining forty-two people for over two hours and I am not particularly outgoing. I'm actually pretty ingoing. I bought this book in a store, along with several others, but only used this one because it made me laugh and seemed particularly straight-forward. It's well-written, clear, clever, and concise. All of the games are explained in a page or two. Chaneski details the possible pitfalls of some games and suggests remedies-his predictions were accurate and his suggestions surprisingly effective. People who didn't know one another when the evening began were leaning on each other with laughter by the end of it. I was able to set up non-competitive games for people who preferred that (a good number simply would not participate in competition but were willing to be goofy as hell in a non-competitive endeavor). Several participants wanted copies the book and while I was on line arranging it, I thought I'd steer others to this remarkable little compilation.
Super Party Games: Fun & Orignal Ideas for 10 or More.......1999-12-05
John, Thank you for writing this complete book of party games. I look forward to trying a few of them. Everyone who is throwing a party for New Year's this year should definitely buy your book to make their party even more memorable (Not that any party wouldn't benefit - especially a work related party). You are a very talented writer. I look forward to your next work. Good Luck! Deana
