Fast Pass - learn names and problem solving

a. Arrange the group in a circle
b. Start (if necessary) by tossing a ball to another member of the group and saying their name as it is being tossed
c. Continue passing the ball around the group saying “Thank you, _____[the name of the person who tossed it to you]. Here you go, _____[the name of the person you are tossing it to]” until everyone has received the ball once (and only once!). Making sure you remember to whom you passed it.
d. Then go through this sequence of tossing the ball across/around the circle a couple more times (increasing the speed each time) until people start remembering names better
e. Then allow them to stop saying the names and challenge them to see how fast they can get everyone to touch the ball in that sequence.
f. Time them a few times and allow them (but don’t tell them) to change positions and try other ways of doing it quickly
g. (The fastest way I’ve seen it done has been rolling the ball down the sequence of hands that form a slope)
