Time frame
About a minute added per participant.
Necessary Components
alliteration meaning “when two things have the same first letter or beginning sound.”
Purpose
One of the best ways to learn all of a group's names on the first day. It involves hearing every participant's names repeated multiple times throughout the entire course of this game. Personally speaking, it is the most effective and somewhat frustrating way to learn everyone's name.
Demonstration / guide
First I pick the theme of the iteration, this could be emotions, feels, animals, ice cream flavors. Then I gather everyone into a circle. For this explanation I am going to use animals.
As the guide I am going to start, I am going to go last. So starting with the person on my right, they will now introduce themselves, “John Jellyfish.”
Here is the rule where it gets long, and what makes it super effective for learning everyone's names. Because when we pass it on to the next person, Jane must say the name of everyone that came before she can introduce herself. So Jane would say “John Jellyfish, I’m Jane Jaguar”
Then she passes it on to Jake, who must now say “John jellyfish, Jane jaguar, I’m Jake jackal”
This ends with me as the guide, who must now be able to name every single person in the group and finally introduce myself.
Explaining the requirements
Pick the alliteration
Animals, emotions, adjective, trees, ect
Start with the person to your right as a guide
This person says their name their alliteration
The next person must repeat the name and alliteration of every single previous person.
Player 1 says player 1’s name
Player 2 says, 1 and 2
Player 3 says 1, 2, and now 3.
Player 4 has to say the name and alliteration of 1, 2, 3, and now themselves.
This continues on until it reaches you the guide, who must now say the name and alliteration of every single person in the circle.
