A Copy of Great Games by Matthew Toone

It has 175 great game ideas--I plan on using them when I have birthday parties, when I need to plan a church activity, or if I ever return to the classroom as a teacher. My dad also loves to plan games and activities when his family comes home for the holidays. Therefore, I got him a copy of Great Games too.
