\nNone<\/p>\n

Game Objective<\/strong>
\nKids are to introduce themselves and tell the group who they would most like to be other than themselves. They may name fictional characters or actual people, either living or dead. For example, kids could name Jean-Luc Picard from Star Trek: The Next Generation, Meryl Streep, Michael Jordan, or Joan of Arc. Kids should not explain their choices. Allow kids to enjoy the mystery of the “why” behind each other’s choices.<\/p>\n

Variation<\/strong>
\nHave kids introduce themselves as the characters or persons they’d like to be and tell their real names later in the meeting or event.<\/p>\n
