Materials: None
Setting: Open space
Say: “Today we are practicing __________ during this game”
Provide a soft object, like a stuffed animal, to toss around the group. When you receive the tossed object you say your name and one piece of personal information – such as favorite food, number of siblings, and toss it to another person so he can introduce himself. Then you will toss it to someone by calling his/her name and making eye contact. The person who receives the object continues by calling someone else’s name and throwing the item to him, and so on. Ask the group what will __________ look like, sound like, or feel like during the activity? Play. After this has gone on for awhile, start throwing an additional object, then another. Make sure they keep throwing to people till they know everyone’s name.
