===Directions===
+
Sit or stand in a circle. Then you start the game... One person starts by using his or her first name followed by using the name of a food with the same letter as his or her first name (Ex.  Christopher Carrots or
+
Sylvia Sea Salt). The next person repeats the first person’s name and then adds his or
+
her own. It goes around the circle, each person repeating all of the names that came
+
before. In a small group, go around the circle more than once, adding additional
+
information such as an adjective beginning with the same letter as the first name or an
+
action. Continue to have participants repeat all information that has been previously
+
shared.
+
 
+
===Alternatives===
+
Have each participant give his/her name and something s/he likes that begins with the same first letter. Each subsequent participants does
+
the same and repeats the name and like of everyone that went before e.g. (First person says "I'm Christopher and I like Candy... the next person says "
+
He's Christopher and he likes candy... and I am Sylvia and I like swimming)."
+
 
+
You can also try it with things the participants do not like.
+
 
+
You can also have each participant give his/her name and an animal that begins with the first initial.
+
 
+
With some groups try using a word that describes them beginning with the same letter or sound as their first name. Positive Phil or Flipping Phil... Have the group act out their word. It is a great way to read investment and energy level of the group.
