Winds of
Portage Lake – Students,
each given a cup, form a circle, one is chosen to be in the middle, that
person says, ”Let the winds of Portage Lake blow all those who have……”
(the student finishes the sentence like ….have a bird …. have red on …..
have two sisters…live in Onekama etc.) Those students who “have a bird”
must set their cup down and run to another place/cup while the person in
the middle runs to a cup in the circle. The student without a cup is now
in the middle
