Prerequisites:

[]

Materials:

This is usually done with two drumming sticks, but is can be done with shakers, just the hands. Sticks ready can translate into any instrument.

Directions:

First teacher models, "Rumble with me if you like pizza."

Model topics appropriate to the level of sharing for this group and its particular context

In a school setting use more general safe topics such as food, pets, sports, hobbies

If the group is safe and respectful enough, you can move to more personal topics such as:
Rumble with me if ... you ever felt lonely? "

Rumble with me if ... you ever got mad and did something that you wish that you didn't?

"Rumble with me if ... you helped someone who was having a hard time?"

Glitches:

• Students get carried away with the rumbling and don't stop at the stop signal.
  []
• Student shares something so specific, no one else has it in common. ie "Rumble if you have German Shepard who has three puppies and one of them has a white spot."
1. Coach the student to make this more general. Like "rumble with me if you have a dog" or "Rumble with me if have a pet".
2. Take over the problem, have a puppet be the teacher. Teacher puppet asks his class to do something. and Dragon puppet student just sits there?
