Activity 1: Meeting One Another (5 minutes)
Materials for Activity

Preparation for Activity
- Be sure that participants have made nametags. If some have not, pass around 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 hear one another's names, let us hold in our minds and hearts each person's worth and dignity.
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, be sure to encourage volume and clarity.Last updated on Friday, April 18, 2008.
