A classic teamwork exercise that highlights the fact that there are tasks you cannot solve on your own. That people are mutually dependant on each other in a community if things are to succeed.
Use this activity to strengthen teamwork, improve concentration and build trust among the children. These are important elements in working with children’s communities, and typically tie in with learning goals in the national curriculum.
The oldest children in preschool or children in the early years of primary school.
You can make the activity more challenging by replacing the cup with a bottle or by having all but one of the children close their eyes, so that they must guide each other both with their words and by pulling the strings. This activity can also be done at home.
