What exercises encourage children to socialize?

My son 9 years old, and he is shy. I don't want his shyness to stunt his development in any way. What exercises encourage children to socialize?

I would first make some considerations regarding his attachment style and how secure he feels in himself to talk with other kids. There are some therapeutic considerations which may help him to work on social skill building, as he may be experiencing emotions he does not understand, which can be a barrier for social learning in certain settings.
