Fun & Games for Family Gatherings: With a Focus on Reunions

Summary: Fun & Games is lame, lame, lame!
Review: I am planning a family reunion and need some fun, creative ideas, so scanned the good ol' Amazon database for something helpful. I discovered this book, and ordered it. What I found between its covers were a bunch of ridiculously lame games, and largely unrealistic suggestions and silly ideas for what would amount, in my mind, to the family reunion from hell, should anyone actually put these goofy ideas into practice. (I certainly will not!) Some may find these games and suggestions fun and creative, but I just hope that I don't have ocassion to attend a family reunion that's been planned by them. I did not find one single idea that I'm willing to use in this book. On the other hand, I've since found magazine articles with some very good ideas for family gatherings, which I definitely will use. This book stinks!

Summary: An excellent idea book for activities for all ages
Review: I found this book to be helpful not only for family reunions, but also for birthday party ideas for my kids. The games part was especially strong, but I thought the reunion section could have been more helpful. Bring on Book 2! I want to play more games!!!
