Connection Chains (or Connection Webs) can be used to help students make connections with each other based on different information. For example, given a certain topic, they can make a connection based on locations, people involved, interests, etc. Students can also be given a certain character (being in role) and find connections based on the characters that each student will play. Links can be made as long as the students are touching (e.g. feet-to-feet, hands, link elbows, etc.). Once everyone has had a chance to make a link, one person can start to explain how he/she made a link with another student, and then the next person will explain his/her link, etc. If there is a student who does not have two links (in other words, if one hand is touching another student but the other hand is not linked to anyone else), that student will be one end of the chain and will start the explanation of his/her link first.
