Connecting with Friends In this creative learning activity, the string or yarn serves as an object lesson illustrating the relationships and friendships we have with each other.
Materials Obtain a ball of string or yarn. Activity Sit the group on the floor in a circle. Holding firmly to the string, toss it to a person in the circle. The person receiving the string must name a quality (of the person who tossed it to him/her) that makes them a good friend. The person receiving the string, holds firmly onto the string and tosses the ball on to another person. The string should be held above the ground. Continue until everyone has received the string at least once and said at least one quality of a friend that the person who tosses it to them possesses. You will have a spider web representing our relationships.
Discussion What makes a friend is the connections we make, the events and experiences we share, the discussions we share. Eventually, if we fail to share with each other or if we do things that “break” the relationship the friendship begins to fall apart.  ,[object Object]
What kinds of relationships do we make?
Using a poster board or whiteboard, make a list of the qualities your group mentions.,[object Object]
