by Chis Cavert and Sam Sikes
Who thought pool noodles were only good for fun in your pool in the summer time? This book is a combination of adapted activities and newly created activities that use the foam pool noodle as a prop. Approximately half of the book contains icebreaker and energizer games and the other half contains problem-solving activities. The activities are for a very broad range of ages and can be easily modified or tweaked. Just reading the descriptions of the activities will bring a smile to your face!
Many organisations use noodles as part of a swimming pool program, but then they store them away during Fall and Winter. Noodles can take up a lot of room and can be put to better use.

Review Comments
These activities will leave your group foaming at the mouth for more.
Those floating foam water toys aren't just for swimming. This book is "loaded" with exciting games and challenging problem-solving activities using the foam noodles. Group facilitators will find this fun & colorful book invaluable.
This book has really great ideas/ games your kids will love!
I have used many of these games with my students at school and they have loved them! This is a must have for any teacher who wants a fun and active gym class on a low budget!
Our children at our child care center loved the activities in this book. I not sure who laughed the most the children or the adults. The games in this book need teamwork and cooperation.... We will also use the activities at our family reunion. Grade A+
I am now known as the noodle lady which pretty sums me up in two words. As Training Manager for a busy inbound call center with lots of client training programs, I am forever trying to make work fun. With bright foam water noodles, we're doing that! Creating zoodles of fun at work, we're smiling, we're happy, we're laughing and learning to work together and that of course will translate well to our callers when our customer service agents are back on the phones fresh from training. Yeah! Thanks and toodles!
