How to play
The group creates a thunderstorm with their hands, no talking allowed. The leader starts an action and each section of the room copies it as the leader turns toward them, in waves: rubbing palms (wind), snapping fingers (first drops), patting thighs (steady rain), drumming with stomping feet (the downpour), then back down the sequence until the room falls silent. With a hundred people the effect is genuinely spine-tingling. Perfect as a closing moment for camps and conferences — or the quietest way ever invented to settle a loud room.

Make a Word
Multiple teams. Scatter letters all over a given area (can be written on paper, Scrabble pieces, etc.). On "go", players from each team race one at a time to collect letters within the time limit. Must retrieve a letter then bring it back and the next player runs. After the collecting time is up, teams must use their collected letters to form a word or words (depending on the game format). Most or longest word wins.
