Name Roulette
This game has two different versions.
Version 1:
1. Divide class into 2 groups and have each group form a large circle.
2. The circles should be directly next to each other.
3. Students should face the center of their circle.
4. When you say GO, the circles should start rotating in opposite directions.
5. When you say STOP, two students will be standing back-to-back. When you say LOOK, these 2 people
should spin to look at each other. The first person to say the other’s name (correctly) wins!
Version 2: (this version requires a sheet or some kind of barrier)
1. Divide class into 2 groups.
2. Have the groups stand across the room from each other.
3. Hold the sheet up between the two groups so they cannot see each other.
4. Each team should select one person to stand directly in front of the sheet (there will be a person from
the opposite team standing directly across from him/her on the other side of the sheet).
5. On your signal, the sheet is dropped and the two students will be looking at each other. The first to say
the other’s name (correctly) wins!
Discussion:
1. How did your group work together as a team during this activity?
2. Did you always agree? If not, what did you do?
3. Share one encouraging thing that your heard another classmate say or do.
4. Is there anything you learned during this activity that might help us work better together as a team here
at school?
