"A fun and easy to use book which I can easily recommend to my students on taught and 'independent' courses, postgraduate and undergraduate... As a lecturer I have on my 'to do' list a need to develop further the range of plenaries I use and I need to look no further!" The Higher Education Academy 27 July 2009 "It's full of jolly games and gimmicks for teachers who want to stay in work." Susan Elkin, SecEd (The Voice for Secondary Education), September 2009.
