Mosston Spider's Web Cooperative Activity
Mosston Spider's Web Cooperative Activity was one of my favorite activities done as a student and I think it would be even more fun to teach it and sit back and watch how students communicate with each other to conquer the spider web. It challenges both the mind and body. You may have completed something similar to this in Outdoor Pursuits. SRU's low ropes course has one of these. It is structured with strings/"webbing" connecting across the structure creating some narrow, some wide, all different shapes and sizes within the strings crossing. The object is to get everyone through without touching the "web." You can add a lot of different variations to this which is my favorite part, for example you can say you have to be lifted through or only occupy the slot only one time and so on. I found a link for what is looks like, portable for the most part. Have a look. http://store.schoolspecialty.com/OA_HTML/ibeCCtpItmDspRte.jsp?section=96379&minisite=10244&item=86242

That does sounds like a lot of fun. I think I did something similar to this in our FYRST Sem class last year. It was a real challenge to get everyone through but like you said it really did get all of us thinking and working together. It was a great icebreaker activity and everyone enjoyed the challenge.
