82) Cuffs and Shackles

Supplies:
*1 piece of string, about 1 1/2 feet long, for each participant

Goal:
To become unattached from one's teammate.

How to Play:
Have participants form groups of two. Pass out the string to each player, demonstrating that they should tie one string (string A) to each wrist of one participant (player A), then tie one end of the other string (string B) to one wrist of the other participant (player B).
Player B should then put his/her other wrist under player A's string, sticking his her hand up in the area formed by player A's arms and string. Next, they should tie the lose end of string B over string A, to this loose hand. At this point, the players should be stuck together. Several players will need assistance to get this set up.
Without taking the strings off their wrists, the players should then work together to get free from each other.

Strategy
The trick involves one player pulling his/her arm through one of the loops of the other player's string. Make sure you practice and understand this well before you try it on a group, so that you can encourage the participants through it until everyone is freed.
