First Names

Have everyone count the number of letters in their first name.
Now ask them to find someone who has the same number of letters.
Those two are now partners.
If a person can't find someone let him/her use another name s/he is called by
(i.e., a Scout named Matthew may use the name Matt and then look for someone with 4 letters instead of 7.)
If they still can't find someone pair up with a person who has the closest number of letters.
