Intoduce some funny characters (e.g. dolls) and present some objects (a book, a pen, etc.). Each object belongs to a particular character, but one of them is very greedy and repeats all the time, "It �s my book, pen, etc." The students should correct him/her (No, it �s his/her/their book, etc.). Good luck!

Ask students to draw pictures of their favourite toy / school object / animal... in secret.
They write their name on the other side of the picture. (Alice, Peter...)

Teacher shuffles the pictures and asks a student "Who is this?"
The student points to one fellow (Adam/Berta) and says:
"It is his/her ... car. It is Adam �s car."
Adam/Berta says: Yes, it is my car. / No, it isn �t my car. It is Linda �s car ...
Linda answers: Yes, it is my car. / No, it isn �t my car. It is Helen �s car. ...
and so on...
until the students find the right "owner" of the object.

It can be fun...
Follow up - ask all students: "Is this Helen �s car? Are these Julia �s cats?...

I usually ask my students to close their eyes and I walk around the class, choosing some of their school objects- a pen, diary, rubber etc. Then they guess whose the objects are. It usually works...

I pick a jacket in random and ask somebody to wear it. Normally I choose mine for a very thin student , I try to wear the jacket of a student, a pink one for a boy, a black one for a girl...
The dialogue goes like that:  - Is it yours?...  they answer back and we start very small conversations. THEY LAUGH A LOT and that �s the best thing about it (especially when I try to wear their clothes)

I always use cartoon characters with kids at the beginning, explaining how to form the phrases. After that I use random pictures of unknow characters and ask them to create a name.  It works really well for me =)
