Players sit in a circle and go around in order introducing themselves using alliteration. The first player begins. Their first word is an adjective with the same letter as their name, the second word is their name. For example, ‘Beautiful Becky,’ ‘Rocking Rachel,’ ‘Kicking Katy.’ Once they have introduced themselves they pass onto the next player. Each player must then say everyone else’s names before introducing themselves.
