Back to School Activity
Are you looking for the perfect LOW-PREP ice breaker to kickstart classroom community the first day of school? This back to school getting to know you activity is a fun way for students to introduce themselves.
In this icebreaker game, students will find a partner with the opposite of their card. Once they match up, they'll do a student interview. You can mix up the cards and play this back to school activity again and again.
It provides an ideal opportunity for students to get to know their peers in a fun and interactive way.
Perfect for most grade levels, the game is simple.
- Students get a card that shows a picture and a word.
- Students look for a partner with the opposite of what they have. (For example, hot and cold, full and empty.)
- Once they find their partner, they'll do a student interview using a partner interview sheet. They'll talk about birthdays, favorite things, and more.
- You can choose to have students introduce their partner in a group.
- Or you can collect the cards, mix them up, pass them out, and play this icebreaker again!
This set of cards can be used any time you want to get students into pairs or teams of four.
You can use it year after year, even if you change grades.
