The class forms a circle as you designate the first person to introduce himself. After saying his name, the student must perform one action for each syllable in his name. For instance, if his name is “Johnathon,” he must come up with three actions for his name. Perhaps he would jump, clap and spin for his three actions while voicing his name. The whole group follows by mimicking Johnathon's actions while repeating his name. After each student introduction, the group must repeat all previous names and actions. The game continues until everybody in the circle has introduced himself.
Ask players to walk around the room and greet one another in specific ways. For instance, start by telling them to greet their peers like a long-lost friend. After they have greeted a couple of other students, change the greeting. Other possible greetings include greeting an enemy, a soldier or a baby.
The game “On a Roll” starts when you pass around a roll of toilet paper to the students and give instructions for each student to take as much as she thinks she needs. Once everybody has some toilet paper in their hands, go around to each student and ask them to produce one fact about themselves for each sheet of toilet paper they have taken. Some will have only one sheet while others may have many, many sheets. You might define a limit for the maximum or minimum amount of sheets students can take, but that's not necessary. A variation on this game is to offer the students to pick one to five pieces of candy out of a bowl and ask them to reveal one fact about themselves before eating each piece of candy.
Players form a line. The first player starts walking around the room in a large circle. The next person follows by walking behind him and mimicking his every move. After a few circles, the first person goes to the back of the line, and the second person in line can decide the moves for everyone else to mimic. This activity prompts elementary students to pay close attention to one another.
