How To Play Circle Untangle
Materials Needed
Relatively large space, hands
This is an all time classic icebreaker game!
Everyone stands in a big circle and then grabs onto two different peoples hands (not the people standing on either side of them).
Once everyone is holding onto two other peoples hands then the aim is to work together to untangle the circle.
Depending on how many people you have this can take a long time or can be completed very quickly.

You grab the hands of anyone but the people next to you, so that everyone's hands are tangled together.

This game is even funnier and takes even longer if every third person is blindfolded!!

Please explain how this game works??? Who's hands do you grab and how if it's not the person next to you. If you're standing in a circle???

I love this game could not tell you hom many times i have played it. Works well with groups who don't know a lot of people or are just really shy.
