Each Wednesday I will share an activity you can use in large group, small group, and/or centers. Since a new school year is just beginning I wanted to share an activity you could use to help the children learn the names of their new friends. I hope you enjoy it!
Toss the Ball
[Large Group or Small Group]
This is a simple getting-to-know-you game that you can play several times. Children toss a ball to each other (use a soft ball). As they catch it, they tell their name and a favorite thing (ice cream, color, TV show, etc.) This is a great way for the children to get to know each other. It is simple and FUN!
You can change it up after playing several times. For example, they catch the ball, say their name and something that begins with the same sound as their name or when they catch the ball and say their name before tossing the ball to someone else they must call that person's name.
