The New & Improved Experiential Garage Sale

from Teamwork & Teamplay

For four decades now I’ve been reading, researching, collecting and studying interesting books in the fields of experiential learning, adventure-based learning, teambuilding, summer camps, staff training, human resources, training, teaching, facilitation, games, puzzles and other interesting publications, books, magazines and articles (enough to fill 17 bookcases in fact, and a few filing cabinets too!) During that time, I’ve also collected a wide range of team and community building equipment, props and toys, enough to fill most of my basement and half of my barn (no kidding!) Here you will find a list of some of the more interesting items I’ve acquired. They have brought me great joy for many years. Now it is time for them to bring others joy too. If you would like to obtain one or more of the items listed below, just send an email to jimcain@teamworkandteamplay.com with a complete list of items and more information (payment options, shipping costs, delivery times, bonus rewards, etc.) will be sent to you. These books formed the foundation for my work in team and community building activities. I’d like to send them to someone who could appreciate them as much as I have. With over 50 pages, you are sure to find dozens of powerful resources that will make you a better facilitator, teacher, trainer or group leader. You’ll find books first in this list, followed by teambuilding props, puzzles and games at the end. Some of the most classic and special books and props are listed in red. All are worth much more than the asking price. As you can imagine, books and equipment come and go every day here at Teamwork & Teamplay, so if you happen to have an older Experiential Garage Sale list (more than 2 weeks old), you might want to request an updated version prior to ordering.

So what is in the Teamwork & Teamplay Experiential Garage Sale? Props used for photographs in many of the books I’ve written. Books and magazines from around the world, in various languages. Puzzles, games and toys to fascinate, challenge and amaze you. Unique clothing (hats, shirts, vests, fleece, hoodies) with outdoor themes. Outdoor gear from interesting places. Discounted copies of all my present books in print, for bulk orders. DVD’s, CD recordings and a few out-of-print and very rare books. Bargain Prices on some very old, but extremely valuable activity books. Workshop Handouts (copies), Conference Proceedings and Rec Lab Notebooks. Teambuilding Props, Debriefing Tools, Climbing Gear and Facilitation Tools. Portable Teambuilding Initiatives, Activity Backpacks, Instruction Sheets. Plus dozens and dozens of odd, one-of-a-kind, fascinating ‘things.’
