Marker pen, scissors, string.
To set up, cut a 3' piece of string for each participant. Tie one end of the piece of string to the middle of the marker. Use tape to hold the knot to the middle of the marker and to help keep the string from sliding up and down. Give the other end of the piece of string to one person. Do this for each participant until everyone is holding an end of a piece of string that is attached to the marker. Tell participants to pull their strings tight until the marker is balanced vertically with the tip pointed down. Put a piece of paper under the marker. Now work together to write out "HELP! SOS!" on the paper while holding only the ends of the pieces of string.
How did participants help one another write out the message? What was the key ingredient for the group's success? How can you apply that ingredient to your family?
