Drama Game: Human Knot

Type:  Activity.

Purpose:

• Help build an ensemble.

Procedure: 

• Group stands in circle and all come in close with hands stretched into middle of the circle.
• Everyone grabs two hands – not the person next them, and not both hands of the same person.
• Tell the students they must untie the knot without anyone ever letting go of their hands.
• Counsel them to go very slowly and be very gentle.
• Do it once allowing the students to talk and once in silence.
