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 F..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.
