Name Scrabble
Focus
Learning names; Establishing identity
Materials
Chalkboard, white board, flip chart
Directions
Someone with a long name goes up to the board and prints his/her name. Another person
goes up and uses one of the letters to insert their name. This goes on until everyone in the
group has their name on the board like a big scrabble game. If a name cannot fit, the group
must work together to move names until they all fit.

notes
This activity is a graphic way to show how things can fit together. Sometimes it takes work
and sharing to accomplish that goal. It is a nice lead-in to a discussion of Full Value
Contract.
