Description

Working together Guides have to lower a stick to the ground

Resources

long garden cane or tent pole

Instructions

Ask the Guides to line up in two groups facing each other and point the index finger of each hand out in front of them.
Now, place the floating stick on top of their outstretched fingers so that it is balanced along the top of each person’s fingers in a straight line.
The team must lower the floating stick to the ground without holding on to it, grasping it or losing contact with their fingers. The stick must remain balanced on each person’s fingers at all times. If at any point someone loses contact with the stick, the task will be restarted.
Note: As the Guides carry out the task they will find that the rod goes up rather than down. Only with concerted effort and a lot of careful communication can they get the rod to move down.
