Slice 'n Dice
-
A dramatic finale type trust activity for a
large group.
-
Seems crazy or impossible, but it works.
-
Large group (>30) forms two lines, facing one another, creating a
corridor or gauntlet.
-
Participants put out their arms straight in front. Arms should
intersect, overlapping by about a hand with arms of people opposite.
-
The first person peels off and walks down the corridor. In order
to let the person pass, people raise
and then lower their arms, creating a Mexican wave effect - a ripple
through which a person is walking.
-
The person then joins in again at the
end of the line.
-
Next person, peels off, walks, down, and so on.
-
As the group gets more confident, invite people to walk fast, run, and
then sprint down the gauntlet (people generally take great care to raise
their arms in time).
-
At some point, or for the finale, have people chop their arms up and
down, only pausing to allow the gauntlet-runner through.
It works!
