Skill Building Resources

This engaging, best-selling resource by Earl Hipp provides teens with important information on how stress affects daily life, from our health to the choices we make. Additionally, this youth-friendly guide book offers several practical activities to develop behaviors that manage stress in a healthy way including relaxation skills, time management, assertiveness, and building supportive networks of peers and adults.

The "Noodle Book" is a combination of adapted activities and newly created activities that use the foam pool noodle as a prop. None of the activities is meant to do in the water. Approximately half of the book contains icebreaker and energizer games and the other half contains problem-solving activities.

A best seller! All 38 activities are new in content or scenario and have been effective with thousands of work teams. Each experiential activity comes with facilitator and participant instructions. Includes game templates that may be copied.

“Experiential education and challenge programming can be one of the most effective pro-social developmental tools available today. Your ideas along with mine and all my contributing friends will create new ways to look at the world and all its wonder.”

After the first "Noodle Book" became popular, Chris and Sam started getting descriptions of new activities from around the world. People also requested activities they could do in the pool. So... this new noodle book contains new games, problem-solving activities, water activities, variations, and some "just for fun" activities. There are actually 55 more ways to use your noodle in the book, but who's counting? Also included are the plans for making your own noodle cutter!
