Slice 'N Dice

A dramatic trust activity for a large group. Group forms a gauntlet, arms out in front. As a person walks down the gauntlet, people raise their arms. Build up to people down running the gauntlet through a sea of chopping arms! 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! Equipment: large, safe space, preferably outside or in a gym Time: ~15 mins Brief description: A dramatic trust activity for a large group. Group forms a gauntlet, arms out in front.
