Ice Breakers

“For an icebreaker to be used with any grade. Throw out a role of toilet paper and tell the students to take as much as they need. (Don’t tell them what it’s for). After everyone has taken some, have them tear the toilet paper at the perforations. For each square of paper in their possession, they have to share one fact about themselves.”
