Straw Activity

How well do we work as a group?

Goal: you have to communicate with the
whole class to form a circle in which we
are all holding only one end of a straw
with our fingertips.

Step by Step:

1.

Everybody gets 1 straw

2.

Everybody forms a circle

3.

Hold the end of the straw
with the fingers of your right
hand

4. Move your right hand across your
body so the straw is pointing towards
your left side

5. Move your left hand across your
body and put your pointer finger on the
end of your neighbor’s straw to hold it in
place

Straw Activity - Reflection

●
How did your neighbor’s movement
affect yours?

●
Were you affected by movement
across the circle?

●
In our group how do we affect each
other?

●
What can each of us do to think
about how our activities affect
others, especially as leaders?
