What's In A Name?

This activity is great for new elementary and pre-intermediate classes. It teaches the English equivalents of the most common names, a series of name-related fun facts and slang and it provides a great opportunity for students to learn everybody's name. It also gives a comfortable topic to talk about. Goes great together with the name lesson in ER Elementary.
