Players move around until the host calls Storm, then everyone must cooperatively fit onto the available “islands.”

Get set up
Gather the required materials: Hoops or flat safe markers. Set them out before explaining the first round.
LET’S PLAY
Here’s how it works.
- Scatter hoops or flat markers as islands.
- Players move around the space while music plays or the host gives cues.
- Call Storm.
- Everyone finds space on an island without pushing.
- Remove or combine one island and repeat, keeping the goal cooperative.
A few ground rules
Keep the agreed turn order, boundaries and timing consistent for everyone. Players may pass or use an accessibility adaptation without penalty.
Mix it up
Use paper plates, taped floor shapes or team islands.
Make it a great round
Use flat non-slip markers and never require unsafe crowding.
Keep everyone comfortable
Use clean, stable, age-appropriate materials and remove anything sharp, breakable or unsuitable for the youngest player.
