Zap Out! Name Game

Time - 10 minutes
This is a great ice breaker as well as well as a name game.
First, you need everyone in a circle formation. One by one around the circle, have everyone say their name (repeat 2-3 times so people can remember some names).
Second, have a person stand in the middle of the circle. The person would randomly 'zap' someone part of the circle with a gesture. That someone would have to duck down immediately, and the people directly adjacent to him/her must name each other. The person who called out the name wrong or slower will become the new 'zapper'.
