Bring several students close together and wrap a long rope or string loosely
around them so they can still move but they are bound together. Now have them
play "follow the leader" with you around the room doing various things that are
difficult to do being tied into a group - things like follow you around chairs,
under tables, over obstacles, hopping on one foot, etc. (you could even have
one of the girls be the leader rather than yourself).
Application: Ask if the experience was difficult. Ask them why they stayed in
a tied-up bundle? You never said they had to stay as a group - that was their
choice. They could have easily gotten out of the string. Would the tasks have
been easier outside the string? What is peer pressure: Why should we make our
own wise choices in life? Why should we choose friends who uplift us and not
those who don't support our ideals and standards?
