This is a great get to know you game that our youth like to play even when they know everyone in the circle. You start with a chair for every person playing (less one chair for the person in the middle). The person in the middle walks up to someone that's sitting down, points at them and asks "Who's your neighbor?".
As soon as they have asked the question, they count to 10 as fast as they can. The person that was pointed at must say the first names of the persons on his right AND left before the one in the middle finishes counting to 10. If they can't name both people, they are in the middle. If they succeed with naming the names, the person in the middle then asks "Do you like your neighbor?". The person pointed at can answer either yes or no (I always say there is nothing personal with the "NO" answer...it's just part of the game). If he answers yes, EVERYONE must get up and move to a different seat at least 2 chairs away from where they were sitting. If the person says "NO", then the middle person asks "WHY NOT?". The person that was pointed at then responds with some kind of answer...i.e. "because they are wearing jeans"...then everyone wearing jeans would have to get up and move. Everytime that some people move, the middle person tries to take an empty seat and the person left without a chair becomes the new middle person.
