How it Works

Perfect game to learn each other's names.

Everyone in a circle. One person (A) starts by calling another person's name (B). At that point, A starts walking towards B. Before A gets to B, B needs to call another name (C), so B frees her spot in the circle, for A to take. C then needs to call yet another name and start walking, so B can take C's spot.

Variations

Instead of calling names, players can pick another player by making eye contact (and nodding to acknowledge that eye contact has been made). This demands a lot of concentration.

You can have more than one cycle going, if the group is big enough. Also known as Name Game. Also known as Shriner's Warm-up.
