Your Name, Your Word
Your name, and one word starting with the same letter. The room repeats it back.
Everyone says their name with a word that starts with the same letter, plus a movement, and the whole room repeats it straight back at them. It is the fastest way to get forty names into a room, and having everybody shout your name back is a surprisingly good feeling for someone who has just walked in.
A room of strangers needs names in the air fast, at the very start of a session.
