Description

Simple group-forming activity, continuation of the Clap Dance activity. The participants are standing in a circle. The facilitator begins a simple gesture: swinging his hand in front of him, like he passes an “energy ball” to the one to his left, a WOOSH! accompanied by a shout. The next participant also quickly swings forward to the one to his left (WOOSH!) And so on, everyone in the circle. If everyone pays attention, a very fast circular motion can be created on the pattern of waving. Practice for a few rounds. The movement in the circle can be reversed in the other direction if someone raises both hands on the WOOSH coming to them and says: AAAA! This turns the circle back on and the WOOSH moves in the other direction. Anyone can reverse the direction. If it’s already going well, we can also combine the Clap Dance movement: participant does not pass on the coming WOOSH, but selects someone with eye contact and pass it on to them by a clap. The other player accepts the clap and can decide whether to continue the WOOSH sideways, or to pick someone from the front and send them a clap, or to pass the move back with the AAAA! move (here you can choose from 3 options).

Other options to add more patterns in the circle: RAMP. In the WOOSH circle if I say: RAMP and I show a ramp with my hand over my head, the person next to me will be left out and the circle will continue.

When I say: TUNNEL - the next 2nd person in the WOOSH circle rotates 90 degrees, stands in straddle, and the next person has to hide between his legs, and then the pattern continues from him.
