ACTIVITY OBJECTIVE: making new friends
ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION: many children need help with the fundamentals of getting someone else’s attention. They don’t yet understand that it’s important to speak the person’s name.
Seat children in a circle, and give one of them a ball.
Ask this child to choose another person in the circle and speak his or her name. Then the child rolls the ball to the named individual.
Once the ball has been received, the next child follows the same procedure — naming an intended recipient and passing the ball along.
