Human rain storm;
Everyone sits in a circle, shoulder to shoulder. No talking is allowed. The leader starts the exercise and each person joins in when they hear the sound the person to their left is making. The leader starts the exercise by rubbing their palms together. This sound continues around the circle until it comes back to the leader who then changes the sound (snap fingers, clap hands,  slap thighs, stomp feet). Then the sounds go in reverse. The sensations created are similar to the sounds of a rainstorm.

Human campfire
Everyone sits in a circle with various materials at their feet: (baggies, plastic bags, squares of waxed paper and foil, and **plastic** bendable cups ). Similar directions as above.
