Get Acquainted Activities: 1. Find Someone Who: (3rd Grade) This is a fun and interactive activity for students to break out of their comfort zone. The materials I would need to complete this activity would be a marker board. The marker board will be placed in each corner of the classroom with a list of different hobbies that the students will have to complete. This icebreaker is entertaining because when the students come into the classroom, I will have them all seated in a morning circle, so I can introduce myself to them and tell them a few facts about myself. Once I have told them a few things about myself, the students will then move around the classroom and find someone who is interested in the same hobby they have chosen from the list on the marker board. I think this is a great way to get the students communicating because we all know the first day of school can be very overwhelming. With this, it allows the students to make friends with their classmates through exciting activities. 2. Treats and Information: (3rd Grade) Treats and Information is an icebreaker to ease the tension the students have on the first day back to school. This activity is a fun way to trick the students into having a good time. The object of this activity is for the students to pick as much candy as they think they will need for the …show more content…

From the five entries of “Letters to a Freshmen,” I got reminded of a lot of stuff I already knew and also found some helpful hints to get me through my first year. I learned that the best food at Wagoner is during breakfast time. Also, I learned that I need to write or type down nearly everything my professors say. The most important thing I learned was this, “Don’t get discouraged if you make a few bad grades here and there. ”I tend to get very discouraged if I score very low on a test or assignment.

A course such as this one is a source of collegiality; an atmosphere where students are able to collaborate, share ideas, and further one another’s understanding. This class not only encourages frequent discussion, but implements into the daily routine, allowing students to speak, listen, and learn. The Human Event promotes discussion, providing students with the opportunity to cultivate their own ideas into words and communicate these original interpretations clearly and effectively. This opportunity doesn’t just benefit the speaker, but also the listeners. When new ideas are shared, the group as a whole can advance their understanding.

Even though most children have a surprisingly easy time making friends with other classmates, a large part of this is because of the repeated unplanned interactions at places like lunch or recess. Each of these interactions take about twenty minutes, which results in approximately forty minutes for them to collaborate, during around half of that time they aren’t able to appropriately communicate. Talking is usually considered a nuisance, and when they can talk they are often asked to talk in their “quiet voices.” Social skills can be greatly improved by playing with other kids without instruction on what, exactly, to

Build positive relationships with students will help establish a more comfortable classroom environment. Michie have put a great amount of effort at trying to get to know his students on a more personal level, such as through individual home visiting and personal questionnaires about each student’s likes and dislikes about school. In order for students to feel that the information is relevant to them, teachers should make connections and relate to real life examples. Michie uses his past classroom experiences to connect to his students and further sparks class discussion.

You give them a list of things they likely all have in common, and make them go around the room and find others who share that trait and make them sign their paper. It would be like the line game, but more personal because the students would have to ask each other one-on-one. It would probably take about 15-20 minutes depending on the size of the class. You could tell if it worked if the students seemed more warm towards the other groups, or if there was actual conversation during the game between the groups.

Based off of my personal experiences with this icebreaker activity, both the instructor and the class tends to learn a lot about each individual student as a person, specifically due to the questions asked. Additionally, compared to introducing oneself, this activity provides some comfort because introducing and sharing facts about someone else is less stressful than doing the same for yourself. Furthermore, the exit ticket activity allows for a fun way to get everyone in the class acquainted by having students recall a specific classmate and their fact, and helps ensure that students were paying attention. While I admit that this activity is not one of the most exciting icebreaker activities, it can be one of the most impactful simply due to the inconspicuous and intentional steps it takes to create a classroom community. Because of this, I plan on implementing this specific icebreaker activity in the future, with the hopes of creating the sense of classroom community and familiarity between my students and
