SV: Ideas please for a different closing

[Eva P Svensson]

Hello Georganne,
I have used it with as small groups as 7 people - sounds great!
I learned it on OSonOS in Swenmark 2003 - I think it was Ilse ? who
introduced it.
:o)

Ämne: Re: Ideas please for a different closing

Hello,
First of all, thanks to all of you who participate and share your ideas and
experiences so freely on the list serve.  Currently, I am appreciating the
ideas on different closings.  A quick question about the Rainstorm exercise.
Has anyone used it successfully with smaller groups, say 20 - 30 people?  I
of course can imagine what it would be like with large groups.  

Thank you,
Georganne Oldham

Hi

A closing I sometimes use is another cooperative game I learnt. Everyone
stands in a circle and one person explains how it works. The rule is
that
you copy what the person on your left is doing - once they have started
to
do it. So the leader starts off with tapping one hand to the other - the
person on his/her right follows suit, then the next and so on until the
tapping has gone all the way round the circle. When it gets back to the
first person - they start clapping (a louder noise) - this goes round
the
circle too. Then a slapping of things (even louder)..... then a stamping
of
feet - with the slapping of thighs goes round. Then you work back down
to
just the slapping, clapping, tapping and then finally the person takes
the
hand of the person his/her right, and this moves around the circle -
until
there is a wonderful silence - with everyone holding hands. Its called
Rainstorm - cos the sound mimics the sound of a rain storm... The
silence at
the end can be pure magic.

Maybe you could use that...

all the best
