Tony Stuart, grades 4 and 5, Lanark, Ontario, CanadaĪlready a Test! Still looking for more ideas? Don't forget our archive of more than 150 icebreaker activities.Īfter the students sit and I take roll, I ask them to take out a sheet of paper and a pen or pencil for their first test of the school year. Throughout the day, I ask a few students to try to stump the rest of us. Then, on a sheet of paper, students write three interesting facts about themselves that are true and one that is false. That gives me a chance to tell a little about me. We go back over each question to see what they thought about each statement. Then I survey students to learn the results. Three of the facts are true, and one is false. I write four facts about myself on an overhead transparency. This activity is always fun, and we all learn something interesting about one another! I start.

I've credited each activity as accurately as I was able to in cases where I received the same idea from more than one teacher, I've merged those ideas and credited all. The ideas are in no special order, and all have been edited for space. See also Getting to Know You: Activities for the First Day of School.
