Type: Warm-Up.
Procedure:
1. Everybody stands in a circle.
2. Start with one person, who waves both hands to his/her neighbor, saying `Whoosh`.
3. The next person passes the Whoosh to his neighbor, and that way the Whoosh is passed around the circle.
4. There’s 4 other sounds/movements that can be made:
5. Whoa!: indicated by saying “whoa”, and holding up both hands in a stop motion. A “Whoa” changes the direction of the Whoosh.
6. Zap”: instead of passing the Whoosh to your neighbor, it gets zapped to the person you point to with your hands clapped together. The receiver continues with either a Whoosh to his neighbor, or another Zap to another person. A “Whoa” after a Zap returns to the Zapper.
7. Groooooooovelicious`: for this one the whole group bends down and up again in a kinda groovy way, all saying Groooooooovelicious. Afterwards, the person who started the Groovelicious sets the Whoosh in motion again, in any direction.
8. “Freakout”: indicated by waving both hands in the air. Everybody starts screaming and moves to the center of the circle. When everybody`s freaked out a new circle is formed, and the starter of the Freakout sets the Whoosh in motion again.
Variations:
1. You can invent other sounds and gestures.
2. Begin an elimination mode in which kids that mess up must sit down, till there’s only two people left standing.
