Three people rotating a rope tied in loop for purposes of fun ice-breaker called Twice Around The Block

Twice Around The Block

Simple, story-based get-to-know-you game for all groups.

  • Inventive sharing exercise
  • Simple & fun
  • Ideal for small groups
  • Unique conversation starter

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Form small groups of 4 to 6 people, standing in a circle.
  2. Distribute a length of tubular webbing (or ribbon or rope) to each small group.
  3. Tie the two ends of the webbing together to form a loop.
  4. Instruct the groups to place the webbing loop inside their circle, grabbing the loop with both hands.
  5. Invite the person who (randomly) has the knot closest to their hands to start the exercise to share a story about themselves.
  6. As this person shares their story, everyone in the group starts to pass the webbing loop through their hands, and keeps passing until the knot has passed through the hands of every individual twice.
  7. Once the knotted loop has completed two full rotations of the group, the person sharing stops.
  8. The person to the left of the one who just shared is invited to share their story next.
  9. Continue until everyone has shared.
