Activity 1: Meeting One Another (5 minutes)
Materials for Activity
- Optional: Cordless microphone
Preparation for Activity
- Be sure all participants have made nametags. If some have not, pass around the nametag materials before participants introduce themselves.
Description of Activity
Gather participants in a circle, so all can see one another. Introduce the activity with these or similar words:Please speak your name into the gathering. As we listen to one another's names, let us hold each person in our good will.
Invite participants to take turns saying their names slowly and clearly. If you are using a microphone, pass it to the first participant.
Including All Participants
Using a microphone for this activity helps more people hear one another. If a microphone is not available, encourage volume and clarity.Last updated on Saturday, April 19, 2008.
