Cowstails and Cobras II: A Guide to Games, Initiatives, Ropes Courses, and Adventure Curriculum

Rating:
Summary: a versatile and comprehensive toolbox of activities
Review: I have used this book at outdoor education centres, camps and in a variety of classroom applications. It provides lots of neat ideas that integrate easily into traditional curricula. I especially appreciate the philosophy and clear instructions. Definitely a staple on my reference shelf.

Summary: Praise for Cowtails and Cobras
Review: I think this is the definitive book for "adventure ed". It is well laid out and easy to use. All the activities list not only instructions but when and how you might use them in a curriculum. It also has innovative ideas about how to use metaphors that can be adapted to a variety of situations. Karl Rohnke is, in my opinion, on the cutting edge of experential education and his first book is staple in any experiental ed library.
