This is a Classic Game<\/a> that can be used both as\u00a0a game during your ministry night, or as a team building activity for your student leaders.\u00a0This is super easy and can be used over and over again for so many purposes.<\/p>\n Things you will need:<\/p>\n –Ply Wood.<\/strong>\u00a0Two sheets of the cheapest 3\/4 inch plywood will do ya. First cut each plywood down the middle (hot dog style) to leave yourself with 4 pieces of plywood that are 2ftx8ft. Use the table or circular saw for this.<\/p>\n Next you are going to want to round the corners off with a jigsaw. Make them round enough,\u00a0so even if they run into something, they won’t put a huge hole through the\u00a0wall or someones leg.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n After your boards are all cut and looking nice, you’re\u00a0going to want to get your measuring tape out.\u00a0Measure out 2ft from the back of the board. Making marks at 2ft, 4ft and 6ft. Using those marks as your center dot, measure out 6 inches on each side, and mark those spots with an X. Drill a hole where you have placed your X (you should have 6 per board). It should be a big enough hole to let the rope slide through with ease.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n You might have to get your old boy scouts book out for this one. (Not really.)<\/p>\n Cut 12 sections of rope all 6ft long.<\/p>\n Next, loop the rope from the top of the board (the part you will be standing on), and down through the hole at the 2ft mark. Loop it up and through the other hole at the 2ft mark, creating a loop that is supporting the board. Make sure the ropes even out and tie your knot. This will give each person something to hold onto.<\/p>\n Repeat for the 4ft and 6ft mark on each board.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Check out this awesome game<\/a>\u00a0that you can use these for!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”3.25″ column_structure=”1_4,3_4″][et_pb_column type=”1_4″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/stuffyoucanuse.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Screen-Shot-2018-05-29-at-12.16.55-PM.png” align_tablet=”center” align_last_edited=”on|desktop” _builder_version=”3.23″ always_center_on_mobile=”on”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”3_4″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.27.4″ link_text_color=”#0c71c3″]<\/p>\n Grow Curriculum & Strategy comes with 50<\/strong> engaging games c<\/span>omplete with screen graphics, instructions, shopping lists, and photos.\u00a0Check it out here! <\/a><\/span>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This is a Classic Game that can be used both as\u00a0a game during your ministry night, or as a team building activity for your student leaders.\u00a0This is super easy and can be used over and over again for so many purposes.
