THE GAME: Divide players into small groups of 8-12 people. Designate a leader for each group and instruct leaders to kick off the game by saying their names and passing the ball to either side. Continuing in order around the circle, each person is to say his or her name before passing the ball to the next player. Once the ball makes its way back to the leader, the leader may call anyone’s name and gently toss the ball to that person. Players continue passing the ball to anyone, as long as they call a person’s name before tossing the ball.
After several successful rounds, ask for volunteers (three or four) from each circle to change groups. Begin the ball toss again. After several minutes, tell everyone they can move at any time to any group. After the chaos of leaving and joinging groups, have the groups form one large group and see who can name all the players in the circle.
