Theatre Education: A Resource of Practical and Project-Based Warm-ups/Theatre Games for K-12
Big Wind Blows
Where we learned it: Improvisation with Youth at ASU
Ages: 1st grade and up
Materials: Large space, chairs/way to mark where each person stands
Process:
 Have students stand/sit on chairs in a circle, with person teaching the lesson standing in the middle.- If students are standing, have each student mark the place where they are standing with tape or something similar.
- Person in the middle announces a quality saying, “The big wind blows for anyone who’s been to Wisconsin” or “The big wind blows for anyone who has a cat.”
- Each student in the circle that possesses that quality must get up and move to another seat as quickly as possible. No person may sit in the seat they were in before.
- There should end up being one person left in the middle without a seat/spot to stand.
- The new person in the middle must announce something new that the big wind can blow and start the game all over again.
The process repeats until each student has had a turn or a time limit has been reached.
