The walking ropes don't work for me or my group we worked on using them all summer. I have to be at the front of the rope to lead/direct them but I don't like walking in front of the children and not being able to see them. What if one lets go and I don't notice? When we walk now, in pairs, the oldest child leads the group and I'm behind them all. I can see them all and respond immediately if necessary. Plus, the children weren't able to walk with the rope without tripping over each other, getting ahead of the person they're supposed to be following, etc.
