Objectives

To allow people to get to know each other’s names and some basic information about each other.

Method

Everyone stands in a circle and the trainer introduces a magical ball (imaginary if none is available). When you receive the ball, you state your name and who you received the ball from. To illustrate, ‘I am Alan and I received the ball from Bob’. And so on …

When members receive the ball for a second time they have to also state where they are from – ‘I am Alan from Las Vegas and I received the ball from Bob’. And so on …

You can continue this game with many variations.

Discussion Questions

1. Did anyone feel uncomfortable doing this exercise? If so, why?
2. Can anyone explain why it is good for us to know each other’s names?
