The name game is a system used to meet different people in a classroom. Each person interviews another student and asks 3 questions about them, then vice versa. The students get about 1 minute with each other, then interview someone else. The name game is a great way to meet classmates and is a wonderful ice breaker. There were some problems though. For example the students didn’t always get to meet everyone and sometimes the students didn’t have enough time interview one another. But for every problem there is a solution. The students could have just interviewed the first person they saw instead of rotating in an organized path. The students also could have spent 2 or 3 minutes with each other instead of 1. Name Game
