Summary: A medium energy game about getting to know a group and finding out commonalities.

Instructions:

1. Form a circle. Choose one person to stand in the middle of the circle.
2. The person in the middle should say “The big wind blows for…” and finish the sentence with a fun fact about them. For example:
   1. The big wind blows for people who like chocolate ice cream.
   2. The big wind blows for people who play soccer.
   3. The big wind blows for people who like the color orange.

Debrief Questions:

1. Did you like being in the middle or in the circle?
2. How did it feel if a lot of people ran for your fact?
