Name Games

Image: FDGA / Jouni Kallio


In team sports, learning names is usually easier than in individual sports. “Pass the ball, Tommy!” is a good motivator to learn your team-mates name. It is really important for the coach to know the players names – as it helps connecting with the kids and makes it easier to keep things organized. There are lots of good games that help in learning names. Here are a couple of examples.

Name hunting

  • Divide the group into teams of 5 people.
  • Everyone writes their name on a piece of paper.
  • The team makes sure they know each others names.
  • The name-tags of all teams are mixed and taken 10 m away with the text side down.
  • The task of the teams is to retrieve the names of their own team to the starting point one by one.

Name circle

  • A classic. In the ring, the first person says their own name, the second repeats the first and their own.
  • This pattern is repeated through the whole circle. Of course, the coach is the last one on fire.
