ADVISORY for September 8th
When the Cold Wind Blows:
Students sit in a circle. One student stands in the middle of the circle, and his chair is removed. He says, “When the cold wind blows, it blows for anyone who _____,” filling in the blank with a category such as “has a dog” or “is left-handed.” Everyone who fits that category rises and quickly finds a new place to sit, including the person in the middle. The one student who doesn’t find a seat stands in the center of the circle and continues the game by saying, “When the cold wind blows, it blows for anyone who _____,” naming a new category. The activity continues for several rounds.
For this game, in order to learn more about each other’s lives, limit categories to ones that relate to interests, hobbies and family, rather than allowing students to focus, say, on clothing or appearance. For example, the cold wind blows for anyone who...
