Making Fun Out of Nothing At All
A book of 101 activities, Making Fun Out of Nothing At All , can be used individually to fill free time constructively, to set the mood for a program, or simply to have fun. Or the activities can be combined for a complete recreation program that could fill an hour or more.
Each activity in Making Fun Out of Nothing At All is listed with information that helps determine the appropriateness for different groups by designating recommended ages and difficulty. An "AMPS" scale - anticipated moisture perspired scale - helps teachers determine the setting for use with "1" being a quiet game and a "10" being highly aerobic.
The activities are grouped in the book in such a way that it would be logical to use several activities from the same chapter together. No props are needed. Both seasoned recreation leaders and first time group leaders will benefit from this well-organized collection of activities.

We wrote this book to help ourselves mainly, and our camp staff, have lots of prop-free games available at our fingertips. The best compliments we receive are those where people are really using the book. We've sold over 2000 copies so far, and we're glad it is doing good and breeding laughter.
don't quit your day job if you write a book! or consider self-publishing. The money we reap from this is only 80cents a book.
And what is the deal that Amazon lists ONLY Anthony as the author--I feel like chopped liver (ok, so I don't like the texture...)
Happ re-creating!
