Materials: Webbing loop

Description: Group forms a circle and holds hands. A 12ft piece of webbing tied into a loop is placed in the center of the circle. Size of the loop can vary with group size. When the facilitator says "Go!" the group must lift the webbing loop over their heads, without using their fingers, and drop it on the ground. Once the loop lands on the ground outside the circle the timer is stopped. You could run this in reverse as well, haveing the group start by standing inside the webbing circle.

I use this activity as a vehicle for goal setting and concensus. With each successful completion the time is noted and the group is given the choice to beat their previous record or let it stand. Either direction is chosen based on group concensus. This activity makes it easy to find the go-getters in the group are.
