Directions

Sit or stand in a circle. One person starts by using an adjective starting with the same letter as his or her first name followed by his or her first name (Ex. Crazy Christopher or Sensitive Sylvia). The next person repeats the first person’s adjective and name and then adds his or her own. It goes around the circle, each person repeating all of the names that came before. In a small group, go around the circle more than once, adding additional information such as a food or animal beginning with the same letter as the fist name or an action. Continue to have participants repeat all information that has been previously shared.
