    This is a very good one, played either with 9 year olds or in a room full of managers, executive suite included. In 5 mn you get the attention of the room, they are energized and happy.
    I usually start with everyone copying my moves (rubbing hands, then cliking fingers, then slapping laps then jumping). And when they have that right I divide the room in 4 groups: one doing the wind , then adding the group doing the rain (clicking fingers), then the ones playing the heavy rain, and finally adding the thunder team.

      Love it Estelle, and I like your variation of dividing the groups into smaller units to focus on one of the moves/sounds.
