ideal.Arrange group members in a circle, standing shoulder to
shoulder.Tell everyone to grab hands of someone across the circle
from them.Make sure you are holding the hand of a different
person.Tell group members to untangle themselves to make a circle
without breaking the chain of hands.If group members break the
chain they need to start over.
