Training for Unit Committee

Many of us as a child, learned the string game " The Cat's Cradle"

• Here two people with a string knotting the two ends to form a circle pass it back and forth in a variety of forms between their hands.
• Expanding:
• You need at least 42 feet of rope, ends tied together.
• Instead of two people you need four.
• Where your finger and thumb work together before now your arms replace them.
• To start the activity, two people stand inside the rope at waist high.
• Make a wrap with the rope, around each persons waist.
• Pull the rope from around the waist of each person and loop it over the other person head.
• This is where you start the training.
• Can the four people proceed without talking, probably not.
• Communication is a key point here.
• Everyone must work together to solve the problem and figure out what to do next.
• Remember never give up.
• (Hint: Add two more people doing the small game, working along with you, to help figure it out where you are at.)
