How to Play Name Syllables

A great name-learning game that helps everyone remember participants' names.

Players form a circle. The first person says their name and creates a gesture for each syllable.

Example: 'Pe-ter' — two syllables, two gestures (perhaps a wave and a stomp). The whole group then repeats the name with the gestures.

Going around the circle, each person introduces themselves with gestures. By the end, the group tries to recall everyone's name and gestures from memory.
