How to Play "The Wind Blows For" Party Game

Video Transcript

"Hi, I'm Teri Lynne, and I'm here on behalf of Expert Village. And in this segment we're going to be teaching you a game called The Wind Blows For. This is a great get-to-know-you game, and you need a minimum of six to eight people. Now because it's just David and I, we're going to show you really mini version of it, and we just couldn't find any friends to play with, so we're just going to play with the two of us. What you do is, you make a circle of chairs and one person doesn't have a chair. So, if there's eight people playing, there's seven chairs, one person stands in the center. So, that person wants to steal one of the chairs from someone else in the room. How they do that is, they say, the wind blows for, and they pick something that some of us in the room might have in common. Like, the wind blows for anyone that has a brother. If you have a brother, you're going to get up and move seats. If you don't, you stay in your own seat. And while they're getting up and getting new seats, I'm going to try to get in and steal one of the seats. And who?s ever left standing goes back into the center and does another the wind blows for. Like we said, it's a great get-to-know-you game because you can find all sorts of things about people, because you only move if the thing applies to you. So, I want to steal David's chair, so we're going to show a little quick round--a couple rounds of the wind blows with the two of us. So, only move if it applies to you. The wind blows for anyone six feet tall and over. The wind blows for Canadians living in the US. The wind blows for girls. Almost got you. All right, so that's how you play the wind blows. It's a lot funner when you have a large group of people. You can play this with really as many people as you want. Just remember that when you're rushing for chairs, just to remind people not to push and shove, because this game can get a little rough when you're fighting for a chair."
