Abstract	This manual was developed to provide an overview of participative planning for community improvement and to suggest when and how to use games to achieve desired results. It is intended as a tool for the development of relevant activities which will result in innovative solutions to community problems. The manual is organized in four sections. In the first section, approaches to community planning are discussed, and a rationale for game playing is provided. This section also contains an overview of participative decision making. In section 2 readers are instructed in how to create planning games, including information on where to get games and other ideas, aims or purposes of gamesmanship, principles to observe when planning games, criteria for conducting games, and hints for planning games. Section 3 provides ideas on when and how to use games (to get acquainted and improve interpersonal relationships, to arouse creativity, to determine group values, to reconcile differences, and to develop or maintain interest). Finally, section 4 concludes with some additional thoughts on the purpose of games, a summary of decision-making principles, and what to do instead of using games. (KC)
