Have the group stand in a circle.

Pick a person to begin.

The first person says their name and then does a “move”

(The “move” can be spin around, do a kick, wave their arms, do a jumping jack, sit down and stand back up — pretty much any active “in place” thing)

Then the rest of the group says that persons name and does their “move”

Then person #2 goes (next in the circle)

The group repeats #2’s name and move and then #1’s name and move. Continue around the circle doing this — each time moving back through all the moves and names.

So by the time you make it all around the circle you are doing about 20 moves in a row as you call out the name that went with it.

It really helps to attach a movement to the names and gets the kids moving! Hope this helps!

Or have each child draw a picture of their favorite thing and see if one at a time they can take a picture and match it to another person. After they are done they can each explain their picture.

Lastly, you could have them make a small book about themselves

what I like

my family

my best friend

my fav subject

ect…

Then they can read their books to the class
