GETTING TO KNOW YOU GAMES
CROSS CIRCLE
Perfect game to learn each other's names. Everyone in a circle. One person (A) starts by calling another person's name (B). At that point, A starts walking towards B. Before A gets to B, B needs to call another name (C), so B frees her spot in the circle, for A to take. C then needs to call yet another name and start walking, so B can take C's spot.

*Variations: Instead of calling names, players can pick another player by making eye contact (and nodding to acknowledge that eye contact has been made). This demands a lot of concentration.

GEORGE

"George" can entertain groups for a while. To play this game everyone sits in a circle. Every one goes around the group and says their name. This allows everyone to learn everyones name, in case they didn't already know. After the names are said the name stays with that seat/spot. George is "it". He can starts it by saying a name of one person. Amy do you want to leave? Amy answers: no. George says, then who? Amy will take over and repeat it with another or the same name. Scott do you want to leave? Scott says: no. Amy says: then who? It continues until someone messes up. When some one messes up the person to the right of George gets up and the one who messed up goes in his place (the last postion) and everyone rotates up to where the person who messed up was sitting. Remember when everyone moves there name stays at that seat. It can get confusing to remember whose name goes with what seat.
A good way to memorize everyone in the groups name.
GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CLASSMATES
Have all the students sit at their desk, without talking. Take out two rolls of TP and tell the students to "Take as much as you think you'll need." This provokes a lot of questions, but DO NOT say anything more. Send a roll around at both sides of the room (this helps the activity to move along more quickly).
Once all students have taken "what they need," collect the unused TP. Now tell the students that for each square they ripped off, they have to give one fact about themselves. There are other variations of this game that use candy (M&M's, Smarties, etc.)-- you can improvise and use any material you want

THEM AGAINST YOU
On the first day of school challenge the students to a competition: Who can remember the most about the other.
The students start, taking turns they each stand up and tell at least 5 facts about themselves. For example: "My name is Shelley. This is my first year at this school. I have 3 sisters and one brother. I have a pet goldfish called "Fluffy", and I like soccer." Then tell at least 30 facts about yourself. For example: "I'm married. I have 2 teenaged children, a girl Kelly and a boy, Doug. I have a pet dog called "Baby" and about
50 walking stick bugs, etc etc." When you are finished introducing yourself. The children get to start, (heh, they're younger). let them volunteer answers and give
them a tally mark for each new fact they remember about you. After they have exhausted all possibilities, (usually around 39 facts for a room of 28 grade 6/7 students) go around the room and try to remember facts about them.
WHAT'S YOUR NAME?
One student sits in the front of the classroom (usually in the teacher's comfortable chair) with his back to the other students. The teacher then points to students in the class and asks "What's your name?" The student indicated must respond "My name is__________" with either his own name or the name of someone in the class. The student in the front cannot see who is speaking. The teacher says to him, "Is it___________?" and he must say "Yes, it is" or "No, it isn't". If the student in front is correct, he gets to stay there, but if he's mistaken, he changes place with the student who fooled him.
To make the game more interesting, the students are encouraged to disguise their voices.
BUMPETY BUMP BUMP
All players stand in a circle with someone in the centre. The person in the centre will choose someone in the circle to point at and will say, "Right, Bumpety Bump Bump Bump" or "Left, Bumptey Bump Bump Bump." The person who is pointed at has to say the name of the person to their right or left (depending upon what is asked by the person in the centre) before the phrase is finished. If they fail to do this, they are out. The centre person is trying to eliminate all players.
