You will need:
- a play space
large enough for all children to sit in a circle
What to do:
- have children
sit cross-legged in a circle holding hands
- encourage
them to find out the names of the children on either side of them
- then begin
game by holding up the child’s hand on your right and saying, "This
is my friend, Melanie"
- continue to
hold hands up in air
- it is then
‘Melanie’s’ turn to hold up her other hand (which
is joined to the child on her right)
and say, ""This is my friend, Michael"
- next, Michael
would hold up his right hand and say, "This is my friend, James"
- this continues
around the circle until all children have introduced someone to the
group
- the last child
may introduce the leader
