Description
The participants are divided into two groups. One group is asked to form a circle and hold hands. The second group is asked to form another circle outside the first one and also hold hands. Now there are two human concentric circles. The problem is to have the circles exchange places. The inner circle should become the outer circle and vice versa. However this target has to be achieved without letting go of each other’s hands. Once the groups have solved the problem, ask them to interchange places again, but this time the participants cannot use the same technique.
