Oh What a Tangled Web...

Activity:  Create a Web

Draw a spider (or print out this one) for each member of your family.  Cut long pieces of string (20 or 30 feet long) and tie one end of each piece to the top of a spider.  Tie the opposite end of the string to something in your house or backyard.  Then start weaving your spider web around anything and everything you can think of.  String it through chair legs, under tables, around trees and branches, through chain links, around toys or swing sets. . . Just anywhere.  You’ll want to make it complicated because after everyone has made his or her spider web, each person is to switch spiders with someone else and start to unwind the web.  It’s a lot of fun trying to make it hard for the next person.  Relate activity to lying.  When we choose not to tell the truth, each time we create a bigger web for ourselves until we can't get out of it anymore.  It is better for us to tell the truth the first time and deal with the consequences than to lie and bury ourselves in a huge web.
