• Optional: Microphone (preferably cordless)

• Be sure that participants have made name tags. If they have not, you may pass around name tag materials while participants introduce themselves.

Introduce yourself and your co-leader(s), and invite participants to take turns sharing their names. As participants introduce themselves, invite them to stand (if they are willing and able) and to speak loudly or use the microphone so they can be better seen and heard.

Using a microphone for this activity helps more people hear one another.
