Where the Wind Blows
The circle leader will remove their chair from the circle and stand in the middle of the circle. They will then say, "The wind blows for anyone who....". They will complete the sentence with something common from the group. Anyone in the circle that the category applies to must get up and find a new seat in the circle, along with the leader who made the category. The person who does not find a seat in time is the new leader. Try around 6 - 10 rounds!
Examples:
The wind blows for anyone who...
... is wearing black shoes. ... is a Padres fan. ... was born outside of San Diego.
... plays video games. ... has a brother. ... likes to eat pizza.

Circle Question
Later this week we will be talking about how kindness plays a huge role in suicide prevention.
Can you share a time that you either showed kindness to someone or when someone showed kindness to you and it made an impact? (Try and think of a time when this kindness was given/received by someone who wasn't a family member or friend. Maybe someone you don't really know or didn't expect.)
Closing Activity
Circle Clap
Start with the circle leader, who will give one clear, loud clap. The person next to them then follows with the same. Keep going around the circle until everyone has clapped. After the last person, the whole group will do one clear, loud clap simultaneously. Try it a few times and see how fast and efficient you can get!
