Spider's Web is an excellent, but more advanced activity. It requires your group to work at a slightly higher level of cooperation. Team members work to pass themselves or each other through a spider's web made of masking tape.

Everyone must pass through to the other side safely, and without disturbing the web. We recommend that you use some of the other activities on the CD-ROM such as First Impressions and Mountain Rescue before moving to this activity.

In the following module, you will learn how to properly set-up and facilitate the activity and then move students through a reflection experience.
