It's called memory circle. So if you want to use memory circle as kind of a name game, ice breaker warm-up kind of thing, you could get students to say a true statement about themselves. My name is jackie and I like cats. Then the next person in the circle could go and repeat what they've already heard. Her name is Jackie and she likes cats. My name is Bob and I like ice cream. The third person goes. Her name is Jackie and she likes cats. His name is Bob and he likes ice cream and my name is Katie and I love shoes. Whatever it is and you just go around in the circle. It's a really nice way for students to learn each other's names and you can change what students have to say to basically anything. Like what kind of food people like, what kind of hobbies, etc. The other way to use this activity is as a review activity. So for example, if you're talking about the simple past you could get students to say what they did last night. My name is jackie and I went paddle boarding and then the next person: Her name is Jackie and she went paddle boarding. My name is Tom and I made pizza. And you just continue on that way and the one rule I would make is the students have to use a different past tense verb for their own statement. Okay, so that's about it. That is my very simple memory circle ESL activity. If you want some more activities, be sure to check out my book 101 ESL Activities for Kids.
