Here is an activity that gives practice to students on learning each other's names, and on possessive adjectives. While the activity is in progress, reinforce what the students are saying by pointing to the phrase connection on the board and or to the student being mentioned. If a student's name is forgotten, don't panic. Ask the student directly what his or her name is and then resume with the list.

The game is about practicing and learning each other's names, not about feeling stressed in the process.

With one hand point to yourself and use the other to follow the appropriate phrase connection on the board.

T: My name is Eduardo. What's your name?

S1: Your name is Eduardo. My name is Roger. What's your name?

S2: His name is Eduardo. Your name is Roger. My name is Wendy. What's your name?
