Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Form two straight lines of people, facing each other and standing about 1.5 to 2 metres apart.
  2. Instruct these people to swing their arms full stretch in front of them up and down in a chopping motion.
  3. Ask a volunteer to stand at least 2 metres from one of the ends of the two lines, looking straight down the middle.
  4. Upon issuing a series of agreed ‘Are-you-ready?’ commands, ask the volunteer to walk down the corridor between the two lines.
  5. The two lines of people aim to slice the air with their swinging arms and hands directly in front of the walker as he or she passes by.
  6. The walker aims to maintain an even pace down the corridor until they exit the two lines, keeping their eyes open at all times.
  7. Group aims to create an exciting thrill for the walker, while not hitting him or her in the process.
  8. Repeat with several volunteers.

    Great alternative to Levitation if you feel that your group is not quite ready for that or if you are running out of time and you still want to continue to build the trust in a fun and more exciting manner.

    Always with the trust sequence it is important to maintain the Challenge by Choice component to ensure everyone feels comfortable with what is being created and their level of participation.
