It's a group activity/icebreaker game.

From Education World: http://www.education-world.com/a_lesson/lesson/lesson196.shtml

"Gather students in a circle sitting around you on the floor. Hold a large ball of yarn. Start by telling the students something about yourself. Then roll/throw the ball of yarn to a student without letting go of the end of the yarn. The student who gets the ball of yarn tells his or her name and something about himself or herself. Then the student rolls/throws the yarn to somebody else, holding on to the strand of yarn. Soon students have created a giant web. After everyone has spoken, you and all the students stand up, continuing to hold the yarn. Start a discussion of how this activity relates to the idea of teamwork -- for example, the students need to work together and not let others down. To drive home your point about teamwork, have one student drop his or her strand of yarn; that will demonstrate to students how the web weakens if the class isn't working together."

That makes sense, son of, thanks! I was really curious.

I thought it was the Unitarian Universalists demonstrating the interconnected web of existence.

Krissy, I agree-it's a very Marin County type thing, but it was in Long Branch, NJ yesterday.

If the group didn't appear to be so young, it could pass for one of those dumb corporate "trust" exercises.
