Ball Name Game – How To Remember Youth Names

The Ball Name Game is a great icebreaker to play in your youth group to help you – and them – remember each other’s names.

Resources

2+ Balls (can use balls of paper)

Objective

Learn everyone’s name in the group

How To Play

1. Have the group stand in a circle
2. Call a student’s name and throw them the ball
3. They call someone’s name and throw them the ball
4. Practice getting this process faster and faster
5. Once the group has become good at calling out a name and throwing the ball to that person, add another ball to the game
6. So now, two people’s names are being called out and two balls are being thrown around the circle
7. Introduce as many balls as you would like!
