Steps

The young people sit on the ground in a large circle.

One of the participants stands in the center and leads the first round of the game.

  • The host stands in the middle of the circle and announces, "Storm upon all who ...And he makes up something to finish the sentence.

For example - "Storm on everyone who has a white t-shirt" or "Storm on everyone who has ever been to another country" or "Storm on everyone with a big sister" etc.

  • All people who meet the characteristic just stated must stand up and find a new place to sit back in the circle.

Be careful, it is forbidden to sit right next to where they were previously sitting!

  • The person who issued the storm warning must also find a place to sit.
  • A new person will therefore find himself without a place to sit. He takes the place of the host, in the middle of the circle, to announce a new storm warning!

CONCRETELY:

  • Which "storm warnings" were the most fun? The most interesting ones?

 

TO GO FURTHER:

  • Did you discover any new information about the ones you already knew?           
  • Were you surprised by any unexpected answers?

The game allows you to learn more about your classmates by seeing who stands up at which storm warning.

 

  • Quick opinion: Sometimes we think we know others, but sometimes we have formed a quick and wrong opinion. Reaching out to the other is not easy, it means putting yourself in an uncomfortable situation: how will the other look at me?

 

For example, a new student arrives at school, he seems shy. Normal, he doesn't know anyone. Do I say to myself "he's shy, I'm not interested"? Or am I going to ask him questions to find out where he came from?

 

  • Friendship often starts with simple questions that allow you to get to know someone better. As you deepen your relationship, you'll want to spend more time together, building memories and a stronger bond.

 

The wise man's advice: "One of the joys of friendship is to have someone to whom you can confide a secret"
