Step-by-Step Instructions
This fun name game adds movement and laughter to traditional introductions. Air Names transforms simple name-writing into an engaging icebreaker game that gets everyone moving in unexpected ways. Teachers and group facilitators value how this playful activity naturally breaks down barriers whilst creating an atmosphere of shared fun and mild silliness. The blend of physical movement and name practice makes it perfect for first-day classes, youth groups or workshops where getting comfortable together matters.
Air Names – Fun Name Game
- Gather your group so that everyone can see you.
- Invite everyone to extend the pointer finger of their dominant writing hand.
- Instruct each person to write their full name, using their finger as if writing on a wall in front of themselves.
- Then, instruct your group to repeat this task by using the pointer finger of their non-dominant hand.
- When ready, instruct your group to write their name in the air with their right elbow, and then their left elbow.
- Nominate any other part of one’s anatomy to complete the task, or try something new as described in the Variations tab.
