Spider’s Web

Classic group initiative to pass through a web of strings.

  • Playful
  • Challenging
  • Fosters collaboration
  • Inspires critical thinking
  • Sharpens spotting skills

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Assess your group’s physical abilities and spotting skills as required for this exercise.
  2. Ask your group to stand on one side of the web.
  3. Objective: Challenge your group to pass every member of their team through the open sections of the web, one person per unique section, without anyone touching the web.
  4. For safety purposes, team members can position themselves as spotters on either side of the web at any time but only those who belong on a particular side may physically assist those on their side.
  5. If any person touches the web, that person and one other (who has successfully passed through the web) will be required to return to the starting side of the web.
  6. No person is permitted to be passed over or under the web.
  7. Allow up to 30 minutes to complete the task (or other time as will challenge your group.)
  8. Process your group’s experience at the conclusion of the task.
