Rainstorm Game
This is a good calm down game that gets everybody ready to listen to a talk. It is good for all ages and lasts about 10-15 minutes. Have everyone sit in a large circle facing inward. Then have one of the leaders explain that they should do whatever he/she does when he/she passes them. Then they should keep on doing this action until the leader passes them again with a different action. Emphasis this activity must be done quietly. The leader starts off by going around the circle snapping his/her fingers. Then she rubs her hands together. Then he/she claps her hands. Then he/she stomps her feet. After that, it goes back to clapping hands, then to rubbing of hands, to snapping, and finally to silence. That was a rainstorm, which has helped everyone to be quiet.
