The north wind blows game

Messiness factor: Slight running. Materials required: Chairs for each player, minus one. Recommended setting: Indoors or Outdoors. Big Wind Blows is an icebreaker game that combines aspects of musical chairs with a get-to-know-you task.

It can be humorous and entertaining, especially when you discover interesting facts that you might not expect about people. To set up the game, arrange several chairs facing inward into a medium sized circle. There should be one chair for each player, minus one. One player starts in the middle, standing up. He or she begins the round.

If the player is not able to find a vacant seat, he or she is the new person who is in the middle. Be creative and have fun! Teachers, youth group leaders and camp counselors love this game because it gets people moving, helping to break the ice at the beginning of class or youth group, or at the start of camp.
