Springboard contains 50 creative activities and demonstrations designed to address in 15 minutes or less topics like goal setting, focusing attentions, achieving the impossible, time management, and teamwork.Combining years of successful experience in education, the authors include insight on why we use activities to prompt thoughtful discussion as well as concepts vital to successful demonstrations and discussions that encompass and encourage profound ideas. Group leaders, therapists, experiential program facilitators, and educators of all kinds will appreciate these quick, emotive activities written deliberately to draw participants attention and encourage deep thinking and learning.

Springboard is an amazing book that one can simply pick up and use!

This book explains what each activity consists of, and what topic they cover. This book really helped me with bringing a broken group of friends back together.
