Activity Description: Youth clap out the syllables of names while performing matching actions.

Items Needed:

• None (just the group and their creativity!)

Instructions:

1. Have the group stand in a circle.
2. Each youth chooses an action for every syllable of their name.
   • Example: For “Elvis,” he could do a “hi shake” for “El” and snap his fingers for “vis.”
3. Each youth performs their chosen actions while saying their name aloud.
4. The entire group repeats the name and actions together.
5. Move to the next youth. After they perform their name and actions, the group repeats them, then also repeats the previous youth’s name and actions (e.g., Elvis).
6. Continue until everyone has had a turn and the group has learned all the names and actions!
