Hi, does anyone have any good ideas on games that will help YR children to start to learn each others names. Have rolled a ball across a circle, calling child's name as the ball is passed, used a parachute and a bean bag!!
Any ideas welcome

Thanks

I do a game where we sit in a circle and sing this song

If your name is ........ clap your hands,
If your name is ........ clap your hands,
If your name is ........
If your name is ........
If your name is ........ clap your hands.

it's to the tune of "if your happy and you know it"

we sometimes change the action.

i start it off and then we go around the circle and the children have to pick who is next. My class is a nursery class and they love this game.!

hope this is useful

Lovely idea 'smoggy', I will use that in Reception myself. Thanks

Thanks smoggy,
sounds fun, I'll try it out tomorrow!!
