Website: sourceconsultinggroup.com Solomon's Current Favorite Activities Key Pad Express (FUNdoing Blog Post - variation of Key Punch) Warp Speed Detailed Description Video Example Using an Activity Rope Blind Shapes Blind Shapes Description
One with the Rope - This is another activity from Sam Sikes. This one is found in, The More The Merrier: Lead Playful Activities with Large Groups. In one version, everyone holds onto the rope (long length, not tied at the ends). Players are at least two feet apart. Then, the group is challenged to tie an overhand knot into each space between players, without anyone letting go of the rope.
Helium Pole/Stick - Directions are found in Rohnke's, FUNN 'N Games (2004) book. (However, this activity might have ties to Micheal Gass, published for the first time in the Zip Lines magazine put out by Project Adventure - we would love confirmation on this.) Description on the Web Video
