In this activity, the participants sit in a circle while the facilitator poses a discussion question or questions.
A ball of yarn, or twine, or string is passed to each person who speaks. After a participant speaks, they hold on to part of the string and pass or toss the ball to the next speaker.
By the end of the discussion, the rope will form a web between the participants, showing who spoke and connecting them all together.
This can be used as an icebreaker activity with a low-stakes question like “what is your favorite hobby?” or to track the discussion of more course-centric topics.
