The human web<br />

Participants form a big circle facing inward. They then stretch out<br />

and cross their arms in front of them. They are asked to close their<br />

eyes, slowly advance towards the middle of the circle and grasp one<br />

fellow participant's hand with each of their hands. The facilitator<br />

should ensure that three hands do not join and that hands are grasped,<br />

not wrists. When everyone has grasped two other hands firmly, the<br />

facilitator tells the participants to open their eyes and the human web<br />

has to be untangled. The web may end up in a number of smaller circles<br />

of participants, sometimes intertwined. The exercise can be repeated<br />

to show different results. This icebreaker brings people very close together<br />

and breaks the status feeling in hierarchies.<br />
