Free Team Building Activity 5:
Remember My Name

This activity is best done for groups or subgroups of between 8 and 15 people. You can go bigger if you think your group is uber-smart!

This is a simple introduction activity that helps people remember the names of one another.

Have your group stand in a circle and introduce themselves using a descriptive word and their first name. The descriptive word has to start with the same letter of their first name. I'd be Mad Trapper Mike.

The next person reintroduces the first person and then herself."That is Mad Trapper Mike, and I am Joker Jen". The third person then introduces the first two before themselves and so on.

Just to make sure everybody is paying attention I like to mix it and surprise people now and then. Before the 7th person introduces himself, ask the second person in line to go through the list. This should help prevent people from mentally "checking out" once they have introduced themselves.
