They promote student engagement and allow your students to establish a positive rapport with you and their peers. It's Easy. NO PREP. Download and Go!

Since it's a PowerPoint presentation, everything is COMPLETELY EDITABLE so you can customize to meet your students' needs. You can also use at the middle school level.

Now it also includes a Team Building Activity to collect information from your students that you can sprinkle into your lessons throughout the year as mini check-ins or mental breaks in order to break up the monotony and keep students engaged. Student directions are included.

An additional bonus included is also Mental Break Ideas.

Each activity comes with teacher instructions and teacher tips. The PowerPoint presentation can be used with Google Slides.

I asked my 12 year old son what first day of school get-to-know you activities his teachers usually do. His response, “They don’t do any. They just say, ‘Hi. I’m Ms. Jones. This is what we’re going to learn this year. These are the rules.’ And we just sit there silently waiting for the end of the day to go home.”

Does that sound familiar?

Ice Breakers for High School Students includes activities that are meant to be ice breakers that can be used to promote student engagement and allow your students to establish rapport with you and their peers. The included activities are:

• Find Someone Who
• America’s Got Talent
• Online Scavenger Hunt
• Personality Quizzes
• Mad Libs
• The Choice is Yours – Introduce Yourself Using Multiple Intelligences
• 3 Truths and a Lie
• 2 Truths and a Dream
• Hands on Deck
• Get To Know Me Ideas that Promote Social Media Platforms

• Other Ice Breaker Ideas

You can spread out these activities throughout the first few weeks of school, or you can do one on the first day(s) of school and then do another one to break up the monotony of the learning routine and promote student engagement in a fun way later on in the school year. Our district usually has to shut down schools due to tropical storms or hurricanes, sometimes for weeks at a time, and so upon our return to class, I usually do another icebreaker to ease them back into our routine.

Also available, back to school rules, parent letter, and Google Form to collect information. Get back to school ready STRESS-FREE!

I hope you and your students enjoy these getting to know me activities. Best of luck on your school year!
