Description
This is a fun ice breaker activity to get to know your students! Have fun and build relationships that will set the tone of your classroom for the entire year. Build connections and learn the likes and dislikes of your students.
There are three types of questions to promote different discussions, asked in a variety of ways and practice different skills. These are fun, interactive and engaging.
INCLUDED:
- yes/ no questions
- would you rather
- open ended questions
The open ended questions have a sentence starter for the students to help those who need it. Each type has ten different questions within it. There are 30 questions total.
This is great for the beginning of the year, summer school, or any time you want to get to know your students a little better!
