Sure, and I liked it. I always think its great when we use your personal experiences in class. Students are often curious about us but often don't know how to ask about a lot of things. Its good to volunteer information like you're doing with this intro.. I use things about my family, myself and my hometown as intro points to lessons as well.
It's completely depends on your style of teaching and what works for you. Time is also another fact. No teaching material is absolute and they are not immune to modification. My material is simply to give you an idea or a start to approaching a lesson.
Good idea mixing 'have done' and 'want to'. If it were my slide show. After showing each answer I'd add a few extra pictures and talk a bit more about the experience. It's interesting for the students to hear stories about us and its good for listening comprehension.
Nice activity. When I do these race to the teacher with the response activities I usually have students come to either ALT or JTE. That way they don’t all rush to the same location. Cuts down on crashing into each other or into desks.
Cute variation. I haven't done hangman in years but when I did I liked 'Hang Hello Kitty'. Also less trauma...for some students.
