Tropical Rain Massage
Gentle partner massage that imitates a tropical rainstorm — drops, rain, storm and sunshine — with different touches on the back.
How to play
- In pairs, one sits and the other kneels or stands behind.
- Drops: light taps with the fingertips.
- Rain: fingers trickling down the back.
- Storm: gentle palm pats; sunshine: warm hands resting still on the shoulders.
- Partners switch roles.
Rules
- Always gentle.
- Never press on the spine or touch the head.

Harder
The pair invents a new kind of weather.
Adaptations
