Double Letter

Double Letter

Group size: Maximum 25
Time: 1O to 20 minutes
Materials: None

OBJECTIVE

To learn the names of the other participants.

WHEN TO USE

To facilitate introductions at the beginning of a group event.

STEPS

1. Ask participants to sit in a circle.

2. Ask participants to think of an adjective that begins with the first letter of their name, e.g.
"Devilish Deidre" or "Awesome Anthony". Use last names if the participants are familiar
with first names.

3. Ask them to keep the adjective a secret until it is their turn to share their name with the
group.

4. Introduce yourself with your double-letter name and then ask the person to your right
to introduce him/herself, using his/her doubleletter name. The person to your right then
introduces you, him or herself, and then asks the person to the right, etc.

5. This process continues until the last person in the circle re-introduces all the rest of the
participants to his/her left and him/herself.

6. The game is over when all participants have been introduced by their double-letter names.
