Acrostic

3.5 shiney stars

An acrostic is an arrangement of words in which certain letters in each line, when taken in order, spell out a word or motto. 

Ask each person in the group to introduce themselves to each other by using words or phrases that describe them to create acrostics of their own names (or nicknames).  For example:

Andrew: Ace, Nice, Dynamic, Reliable, Energetic, Wonderful
