Objective: Teamwork and to get participants think about division of work in their groups. Step by step instructions
  1. Divide participants into small groups to stand in a circle.
  2. Select one person to be in the middle. The person in the middle can keep both feet on the ground, but everyone else may only keep one foot on the ground and the person in the middle must somehow hold or carry each group member’s remaining foot (or leg).
  3. The challenge for the group is to move as a unit in one direction without the person in the middle dropping anyone’s foot or leg in the process.
  4. Let them try it and give them a target of where they have to get to.
