Other Ice Breakers (that will be entered as grades and how to make them up):
Sixty Second Summer
Everything you did this summer in sixty seconds! A fun exercise to use as an icebreaker and to learn everyone’s names. WHAT TO DO? • Students get into pairs. • Each shares a memorable moment from summer vacation. • The pair then switches stories, making the story his or her own. • This should only take about ten minutes to do. Focus on listening carefully, thinking fast and performing on your feet! • Have the students perform the 60 second monologue for the rest of the class.
If you missed this: Write a one page monologue about what you did this summer. Be ready to share with the class.
3 Things!
What are you proud of? What do you want to accomplish? Set some goals for the semester. WHAT TO DO? • Students take index cards and write down three things they’re proud of and three things they want to accomplish during the semester. • The teacher collect the cards and saves them. On the last class day of the semester, take out the cards and see how everyone did!
If you missed it: Follow the directions and turn in a note card to Mrs. Hayes.
