How to play The Name Game
- Students sit or stand in a circle.
- The first student says an adjective that starts with the same sound as their name, then their name ("Happy Hector").
- The next student repeats the first name, then adds their own.
- Continue around the circle, each student repeating all previous names.
- The teacher goes last and tries to say every name.
Variations
- Add a gesture with each name for younger students.
💡 Teacher tips
- In a large class, split into two circles so the last students are not overwhelmed.
