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