Materials: One new roll of 1" masking tape. You will also want to mark off a boundary area: rope, chairs, and another roll of masking tape.
Procedure: The boundaries for this one will depend upon the size of your group. So, read on to understand the process. Then determine the level of challenge you will present.
Have the group step into the boundary area. Discuss the importance of bound¬aries and why they are necessary. "Many times we have to do things with limited space. Let's see how well you will be able to adjust to limited”
Hand someone the new roll of masking tape and give them this challenge: "Staying within the boundaries, completely unroll this roll of tape without breaking it. The only thing that can touch the tape in the process is skin. The only time, the tape is allowed to touch itself is when it's coming off the roll."
As you might be able to imagine, the size of the working space will matter. The larger the space, the easier the initiative. But, who are we to make it easy for them? You could start big and then cut back. When does that ever happen?
