To animate a fun session fostering team cohesion, gather the participants in a circle, each on a chair. It is important to provide one less chair than the number of participants so that one person ends up standing in the center of the circle.
This person then starts a sentence by saying: “A cold wind blows...” and adds a characteristic that applies to one or more members of the group. For example, they might say: “A cold wind blows for those who wear red” or “A cold wind blows for those who have blonde hair.” Everyone who identifies with this description must quickly stand up to find a new vacant chair, while the person in the center tries to sit down as well. The one who fails to find a spot becomes the new center of the circle. The game continues as long as the atmosphere is festive and the participants enjoy playing.

This original game promotes team cohesion by encouraging interaction, communication, and stimulating the creativity of the participants. By allowing everyone to move and jump into action, it strengthens the bonds between colleagues while providing a moment of relaxation and collective fun.
