As a class, they help link all the chains together. Use blank strips of paper in between each child's chain. Have kids estimate the length of the giant chain. Then, as a class measure it! Did anyone come close to guessing the actual length of the chain?!
Discussion:
Look at the variety of talents in the room! (Compare the length of their chain to the giant class chain.) If we all work together, we can accomplish anything!
I like to do this, but with asking students to find something they have in common with the next person. The next day, we get in a different order and add to the chain. By the end of that first week, our chain is HUGE- and shows that we are all connected to each other.
