It's to play the name game. I usually will get students to tell me their name and then something they like and then we go around in a circle. I start first and I'll say, "My name is Jackie and I like cats." The next person would say, her name is Jackie and she likes cats and my name is Ted and I like ice cream. Then the next person goes: her name is Jackie and she likes cats and his name is Ted and he likes ice cream and my name is blah blah blah. And we go around in a circle and usually I will be the last one to go and it's a serious test of my memory. But, it is super helpful for remembering students' names and then kind of remembering one fun fact about them.
