Pitch Activity Book - The Introduction Game
Music Resource Description
The Introduction Game is a delightful activity designed for children to engage in a fun and musical way to introduce themselves and their peers. The essence of the game lies in its simplicity; each child takes a turn to sing the phrase "I am [their name] and this is [name of the child on their left]," thus giving every participant a moment in the spotlight to perform a solo. This interactive game not only captures the children's attention but also encourages them to practice singing and learn the names of others in a playful setting.
There are several variations to this game to keep it exciting and adaptable to different group settings. Children have the option to accompany their singing with a gesture towards the child they are introducing, adding a physical element to the activity. For a more tactile experience, they can pass a beanbag to the next child as they sing their names. Another alternative is to have the children sit in a circle and roll a ball to the person they mention in their song. Whichever method is chosen, The Introduction Game is a charming way to promote musical expression, social interaction, and inclusivity among young learners.
