The a Circle and a Rope game

A circle and a rope is a very fun and challenging game that requires lot of communication and coordination among the teammates. This activity also tests the level of leadership and trust within a group.

The challenge is that the team must form different shapes with a rope, without letting go. Start easy (a square, a triangle), then move into more complex shapes (figure eight, star, etc).

Check that the space you intend to use is spacious and safe, free of furniture or other obstacles.

The group is asked to stand in a circle around a long piece of string tied at the ends to form a circle. The team is next asked to create shapes with the string – square, triangle, figure 8, rectangle and many other shapes.

To increase the difficulty level, the members are asked to shut their eyes/be blindfold and repeat the exercise. To further the complexity of task, random team members may be “muted” at different times thereby making communication more challenging.
