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.”

Back to School Ice Breakers and Art Games for High School

Here are some fun back to school ice breaker activities and art games to get the school year started! They are also good for review, to introduce new concepts, or for a break in classwork.

Icebreakers

The kids love it when you remember things about them so I can just read up on them and use my knowledge to talk to them about them and their families.

Autobiography Poem

he first day of school I tell my students that their first assignment will be to write a poem. I usually hears moans and groans at this point, especially since I teach Math. I say that this will be the easiest poem they have ever written because it will be about themselves.
