Rainstorm
The Rocket
Stand in a circle. Clap your hands from left to right going
faster and faster. After a while you start stamping your feet
also faster and faster. When you can’t go any faster everyone runs to the middle and jumps up screaming.
Stand in a circle and one person starts. First you rub your
hands slowly and then the person next to you rubs thier hands
and then the next person and so on. When everyone is rubbing
slowly you start rubbing fast and that gets passed around the
circle. Then go on to snapping fingers followed by clapping
hands. When everyone is clapping and stamping their feet the
storm is at its worst and it starts calming down in the reverse
order until you are the last one rubbing your hands slowly.

Form two teams, girls vs. boys. The person leading
the game says the lines to one of the teams and
they repeat it. Then the other team gets a turn.
They take turns trying to do it louder than the
other team.
The Car
Harry
Sit in a circle and one person starts. Sound like a car and steer towards
the next person who then sends it along the same way. To turn the
other way make a braking sound and steer in the other direction. A
honking noise means you skip one person. If the person says snow
chains then the next person has to say dunka dunka.
X: Hi Harry
Y: Yes Harry
X: Tell Harry
Y: Hi Harry
Z: Yes Harry
etc...
This Is A...
The “blue” gets passed around the circle. You can vary this game by
saying different colours or items. You can also have an actual item that
goes around for example pens in the colours you are saying. To make it
extra hard you can say things that have nothing to do with the actual
items going around and have as many things as people so that everyone
has to to play part X and Y at the same time.
X: This is a blue
Y: A what?
X: A blue
Y: A what?
X: A blue
Y: Ok, a blue
Y: This is a blue
Z: A what?
Y: A blue
etc...
If you say it wrong you get a spot painted on your forehead and the
next time 2 spots etc. If you have a spot you are called Spot (or
Spotspot...) instead of Harry.
Samurai Intergalactico
Ah (arm straight across chest, sends ti to the person next to you)
So (arms like a C, sends it on to the next person)
Ko (arms straight out, sends it to the person you point to)
No (hands crossed out front, blocks it sending it back to the person
who said Ko)
The sounds should be screamed loud. Ah So and Ko always follow each
other and the person pointed to at Ko can choose to say No or Ah.
When someone makes a mistake he/she goes to the middle and everyone
crowds in holding hands up high screaming Samurai Intergalactico and
then it all starts over again.

Everyoen is in a circle. One person starts walking around in the middle
as everyone sings Blipblip over and over. The person freezes infront of
someone and screams. That person screams back and is now the leader
walking around as everyone sings Blipblip. At some point the person
in the back (always the same one) screams to the person in front of
him/her. Then the person in front screams to whoever he/she is standing
infront of. That person screams back and is now in the front. The
scream gets past all the way back. This goes on until everyone is in the
line. In summary, the person at the back always decides when to stop
and scream and the person closest to the front person is the new one in
the line.
This game is like rock, paper, scissors but done in a big group. Two
teams each start off by deciding what they are going to be. You can
either give them a choice of characters: elephant (arms make the trunk
and run with big clunpy steps), cats (meow and swat paws while running) or mice (squeek and hold paws by mouth).
Elephants chase cats
Cats chase mice
Mice chase elephants
Each team lines up on opposite sides of the room/field facing each
other. They link arms and walk towards each other screaming Här
kommer vi. When they meet each team makes their character. The
overpowering character chases the other team who runs back to where
they started. Anyone who is caught switches over to the overpowering
team. The two teams then start again by choosing a character. The game
is over when everyone is on the same side.
You can make the game more challenging by letting the teams choose
characters freely or to a theme. When they meet in the middle they first
have to figure out which character should be chasing and which should
be chased before they can run.
Blip Blip
Här Kommer Vi
Friend and Foe
Each person picks one enemy and one friend. When the game starts
everyone has to run around and try to keep their friend between them
and their enemy. The game is over when you decide they have had
enough.
One person starts and says 1. Then someone else says 2 and the next
person 3 etc... There is no preset order, you just randomly join in when
you feel like it. When two people say the same number at the same time
you have to start over at 1. Try to get as high as possible.

Everyone walks around in a circle with hands on the next persons
shoulders. People randomly shout out names of countries one at a time.
When someone says Mongolia everyone has to fall down on the floor.
The you get up and start over. If someone says Mongolia backwards as
everyone gets up then that means that you are going backwards. Everyone walks backwards and say country names backwards.

next does the next set etc. with everyone doing mushroom and snake

someone else. They dance back to back, side to side and then front to
front before both continue around in the circle. Each time the number of
people in the circle doubles until everyone is in the circle.
The song is sung over and over again, each time adding one body part.

pointed to says his/her name. Alternately the person in the middle points to someone and says that person’s name after
which that person sais the name of a third person in the circle who then has to answer “Shlaff shlaff ”. If anyone
doesn’t say the right thing they go to the middle. Should be done fast.

Boing
Everyone stands in a circle. One person starts by saying Boing
while making sure his/her teath aren’t visible (covering teeth with
lips). The next person in the circle does the same and it gets passed
on and on. When someone says Cheboing the direction around the
circle changes. If it is a big group the Boing can start in several
places at once. If someones teeth are seen they have to do a short
funky dance.
Harry Potter
Everyone stands in a circle and one person dances around in a circle. After
the first two lines are sung by everyone the middle person points an
imaginary want at someone and says one of the spells. The person pointed
to then does the appropriate action and joins the middle. Keeeps going until
everyone is in the middle.

Party!
Standing in a circle one person starts by saying the line and making a dance
move. The next person says the line, makes the previous dance move and adds
a new move. The third person says the line, does all the previous moves and
adds a new one. And so on...
