Description

Web of Names
For this game, take a large ball of string of the kind that can easily unravel. Tell the entire group to sit in a circle and make sure to warn them that they must remain seated for safety reasons. To start, one person should hold onto the tip of the string, then say their name. While still holding onto the string, the person should throw the ball of string to another person. The second person should then say their name, then throw the ball of string to a third person.

As the game continues, a web of string will start to be formed by the criss-crossing string. When the last person’s name has been said, the fun really starts as the group begins to unwind the web by saying the name of the person who came before them while throwing the ball of string at the person. Make sure that each person rewinds the ball of string before throwing it to the preceding person.
