A nice way to introduce names is through breathing exercise. Breathing or singing names.

Have all of the children breathe in together and then breathe out the name of a child holding on to certain sounds “eeeeeeee” “mmmmmmm” etc.

Continue until you have completed every child’s name (don’t forget your own). The children love to hear there names sung by the entire class - check out the shy smiles on their face!

I mainly do this with 3-5 year olds, but it could be used for a variety of age groups
