RAIN/THUNDER:
This is a game of “follow the leader.”
Closed eyes create the rainstorm effect. Participants sit in a circle with eyes closed.
The leader begins by very quickly rubbing his/her
hands together.
As the person to the left hears this, he/she
begins rubbing his/her hands together until this contagiously
goes around the circle (can also be done going side
to side with large group).
As soon as this sound reaches the leader again,
he/she begins to snap his/her fingers as does the
person to the left, until eventually, the entire circle
gives the illusionary sound of a rainstorm.
When this sound reaches the leader, he/she
begins clapping his/her thighs until the entire circle
follows suit.
The final circle of sound is created by stomping
feet. All
of these sounds give the feeling of a thunderstorm
rising to a climax.
At this point, the leader reverses the motions
(foot stomping, thigh slapping, fingers snapping,
and hands rubbing together) until the sounds of the
storm have fully subsided.
