Supplies:
* tub/ tray of water (to make it harder, make it icy water)
* bar of soap
* table
* coin

Set-up:
Set up a tray of water, and put a bar of soap in it. Set it on a table with enough space in front of it, for everyone to form two lines. Split the group into two teams. Have each team form a line, with the players holding hands, in front of the table. The first person in each line should be close enough to reach the bar of soap in the tub.

Goal:
To be the first team to have all it's participants grab the bar of soap out of the water

How to Play:
Instruct the players that no one is allowed to talk, and only the player in the back of the line may watch. Everyone else should look forward, while holding hands with the people in front of and behind them. The facilitator will stand behind the two teams and flip a coin. When the facilitator flips heads, the player in the back of the line squeezes the hand of the person in front of him/her, and each player passes the squeeze up to the front as quickly as possible. When the person in front feels the squeeze, he/she must grab the bar of soap and hold it up. When a team grabs the soap after the facilitator flips heads, the player in the back of that line moves up to the front. If the team grabs the soap, without the facilitator having flipped heads, however, the person in the front of the line, must move to the back. This continues until an entire team has moved from the back, to the front, and the person in back is the same person that was there at the beginning. Alternatively, the game can be played until time runs out, and whichever team moves the most people to the front, wins.
