An easy game that allows participants to learn a lot of names very quickly.
Materials
A soft object that can be thrown around a circle (*optional – this game can be played with or without a throwing object)
How to Play
- Participants to sit or stand in a circle
- The instructor begins by saying their own name, followed by someone elses in the circle. At the same time they throw the object to this person (eg. John, Kate)
- The person who receives the object now says their own name, followed by someone elses (eg. Kate, Matt) and throws object to a different person
- The game can continue for as long as needed, once it is moving very quickly it can be assumed that participants know each others names
Variations
- To play the game without an object you can simply voice the game or you may like to use a rythmic clapping sequence (knee slap followed by a clap for example)
