Sit in a circle. The
teacher starts and says, "My name is _________." she then
hands the ball to the child next to her and prompts them to say their
name. This continues around the circle. When the ball gets
back to the teacher she says, "My name is _________ and I am passing
the ball to ___________." This continues around the circle with
teacher prompting. When the ball gets back to the teacher she
rolls the ball to the other teacher and says, "My name is _________
and I am rolling the ball to _________." That teacher then
rolls the ball to a child and this continues until everyone has had a turn
and the children are getting restless.

Make name tags with each child's name
and tell them that you are glad that they have come to your class. We
then play this game to set a happy mood. Game: The children form a
circle with the teacher standing in the middle. While bouncing a ball to
one child at a time, the teacher says " I am happy to see (child's
name). Continue till everyone's name is said. Then we pass the ball
around the circle to each child, the entire class says the name of the
child holding the ball.

As the children are sitting for circle time, have one child put a small
blanket over their head and the group pats their legs as they sing...
Who's that hiding underneath that blanket, repeat, repeat, come out and
tell us your name. The child pulls the blanket off and tells everyone
their name. Then that child puts the blanket on someone else and
repeat.
