Today’s Activity

Human Knot:

–   If the group is really big, split them into smaller groups. Too many people in a human knot can make the activity extremely difficult. Groups of 10-12 are ideal.

–   Arrange group members in a circle, standing shoulder to shoulder.

– Tell everyone to put their right hand up in the air, and then grab the hand of someone across the circle from them.

– Everyone then puts their left hand up in the air and grabs the hand of a different person.

– Check to make sure that everyone is holding the hands of two different people and that they are not holding hands with someone directly next to them.

– Tell group members to untangle themselves to make a circle without breaking the chain of hands.

–  If group members break the chain they need to start over.

How could you make the activity harder? How could you make it easier? Why is communication so important?
