TAFFY
PULL: Begin by asking group members to remove
any sharp jewelry or belt buckles.Then, divide group into two teams - the “Taffy
Team” and the “Taffy-Pulling Machine Team.”Have all of the members of the Taffy Team sit
down and link arms, legs, and hands in one huge, tangled,
mass.The
job of the Taffy-Pulling Machine is to pull the taffy
mass apart into “human-size” bits.Ask the team members to firmly, but GENTLY,
tug at a piece that seems the most “stretchable,”
until it comes loose.Each piece of taffy gets to decide how much
he/she wants to stay a part of the taffy mass.These two rules help ensure no one gets hurt.Each piece of taffy that gets separated from the mass joins
the machine, until the last two pieces are pulled
apart.Then, if time permits, the two teams can switch roles.
