The group stand in a circle. Each person must remember who is standing on his/her left and right. The leader then asks the group to spread out around the room and begin to walk freely about. The leader will then call out instructions - walk with those with the same coloured hair as you - walk with those with the same coloured shoes, or the same coloured eyes.

Then the leader will give more instructions - create 3 circles, or 4 squares, or 2 triangles or one star and individuals must form themselves into groups to make this happen.

The leader will then ask everyone to freeze where they are stood; to locate the person who originally stood to their right, and to their left, and then point at them both, without moving.

Very slowly, people will then begin to stretch and then move towards their two neighbours until the entire group are holding hands. This will be a tangle. The group must then try to untangle themselves, without letting go of their neighbour's hands. 9/10 times it does work! :)
