Props

1 - 25' length of webbing

1- 10' length of webbing

1 - 5' length of webbing

1 - 40' length of webbing, rope, or chalk circle

1 plastic ball

1 pedestal (cardboard tape core works great) on which to rest the ball

1 stopwatch or timepiece to keep track of the group's accomplishments

 

Setup

Create a circle on the ground using the 40' length of webbing or rope.

Place the plastic ball in the center of the circle resting atop the pedestal.To find the perfect size for the circle, imagine the tallest person in your group laying flat on their stomach with arms stretched toward the center of the circle and feet remaining on the outside edge. Next, place the ball where the hands would reach.

Finally, create the circle with the ball as the center point so that the tallest person could reach it from any point around the circle. Using this method will keep all of the solution options open and provide the best experience. Hold on to the remaining lengths of webbing, as you will pass them out later.
