Getting to Know You Even More

This is a simple but fun game for all the kids to get to know each other quickly.

Things You Will Need

•          A ball

How to Set Up and Play

The game setup is quite simple; first, you get all the children to stand in a circle.

The game begins when you throw the ball to a random kid and as a question about them, such as “what is your favorite movie?” The kid answers the question and randomly tosses the ball to another kid and asks another question such as “Do you like to play outside?”

The next kid who catches the ball answers that question and tosses it to another random kid with a question.

Have a list of questions prepared and read them out to the kids so they can have an idea about what to ask.
