Naming and moving
All the participants are standing in a circle and the leader of the game is in the middle of the circle. The leader start to say his/her name and then one after another, without any particular order, all participants say their names. Everybody should try to memorise them.
After all the participants said their names, the leader says the name of somebody. He/she takes the place of the leader and says another name taking his/her place... The rhythm should be quick. People have to be attentive. The game continues until the leader decides to stop.
