catch each other's names and get to know each

of remembering names in a big group quickly.
The facilitator arranges the group in a circle and
asks each person to throw the ball across the
circle, first telling his or her own name, and then
announcing the name of the person to whom
they are throwing the ball to (the first couple of
times, each person throws the ball to someone
whose name they already know.) When every
person in the group has thrown the ball at least
once, it's time to set the challenge to pass the
ball around all group members as quickly as
possible. Time the process, then ask the group
to beat that timing. As the challenge
progresses, the team will improve, for example
by standing closer together. And so the group
will learn to work as a team.
