The Name Game

Take the same pictures used in the Face Game, on page 116, and put the names of each on the back. Now learn the name of five, making good strong name pictures, use every idea suggested in the chapter. Review the five and learn five new ones, now review the ten, and follow this plan until you have learned not less than twenty names.

Take the twenty learned and shuffle them and lay them one at a time on a table in front of you. Try to name the person instantly; wait only a moment and if you do not recall his name, place the card in a pile by itself. Go through the twenty and see how many you can name; do this often for practice. Use this group every day until you are familiar with all. Enlarge the group by learning ten new ones each day. When possible have some one hold the pictures for you. Try always to improve the score and also to decrease the time necessary to name the group. If there is more than one person learning the names, make a game of the idea, each taking the picture which he names first, seeing who can get the largest number.
