Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Locate a wide area between two points, such as two opposing walls, two trees, etc.
  2. Instruct your group to physically span the space between these two points using their bodies, forming a continuous connection between all people and the two ends.
  3. To record an official attempt, the connection must be established for five seconds.
  4. Over several consecutive rounds, challenge your group by progressively limiting the number and type of body parts which may touch the ground between the two points, eg five feet, two hands and one bottom.
  5. Continue until your group is ultimately challenged.
