Children sit in a circle. The facilitator gives each child a musical instrument. All the children say their name in turn, rhythmically, while playing the musical instrument they hold. The rest of the group repeats each time the name they hear and the accompanying rhythm. Finally, each child tells the story of their name: who gave it to them, what it means, if they have a nickname, when they celebrate their name day, etc. The facilitator helps with questions. Do you like your name? Who chose it? Do other people in your family have the same name? Have you seen photos from your baptism? What do your parents and grandparents call you at home? Do you have a pet name? Do you prefer your pet name or your real name? Do you have a name day? When and how do you celebrate it? Do you know names from other countries? If you had to change your name, which name would you choose? Do you know what your mother's last name is? Your father's? Your brother's or sister's?

Why do you think everyone in the family has the same last name? The facilitator suggests various ways for the children to write their names on a card: with markers, with letters cut out from magazines or newspapers, with the help of a computer, etc. The name cards can be hung on a dry branch, which they will call "The Name Tree." Parents talk to the children about the story of their own name, about family names, and about how they chose their child's name. Parents and children draw a circle on light-colored cardboard paper and around the circle they draw as many petals as there are names of their family members. On each petal, they write a name. They can hang "The Flower of Names" in a corner of the house.
