Resources

A4 paper
Scissors
Pens or pencils
Rulers

Instructions

Before you begin
-You’ll need plenty of paper. Each group will need a few pieces to ‘Figure it out’, and you’ll probably need a few pieces to play ‘Circle through a loop’ too.

Figure it out
-Everyone should split into teams of four or five people.
-Each team should get a few pieces of paper, some pens or pencils, a ruler, and a pair of scissors.
-The person leading the activity should explain that it’s possible to fit the whole team through the middle of the piece of paper while the paper stays in one piece.
-Everyone should try to figure out how they can fit through the piece of paper. Once they’ve made a plan, they should experiment with all of the stationery they have.
-Some people might have done this before – that’s OK. If anyone remembers how to do it, they could give everyone else a chance to figure it out by sharing the solution with their team one step at a time and leaving time for people to guess what to do next.

Share the solution
-Once a team has figured out the solution, they should share their solution with all of the others teams until they’ve all succeeded.
-If no one’s able to figure it out, the person leading the activity should share the solution.
-It’s up to you whether you share it with everyone at once, or just a few people who can teach everyone else.
-Each team should make at least three loops using the solution.

Circle through a loop
-Everyone should make a circle. They should all hold hands.
-One pair should let go so the person leading the activity can put a paper loop between them. They should rejoin hands through the middle of the loop so the loop’s secured.
-Everyone should work together to pass the loop around the circle without letting go of each other’s hands (or tearing the paper loop).
-If the loop tears and you need to replace it, there’s no need to start again. Just put a new loop in the circle where the last one broke.
-As they try to move the loop, everyone should problem-solve together. Is it easier for people to put their head and shoulders through first, or should they start with their feet? --What does everyone else need to do to help the person who’s moving through the loop?
-Once they’ve succeeded, everyone should come together to reflect on how it went.
