Icebreaker Activity Idea


I think this is the activity that I will use to introduce myself and get to know the students during my first lesson.

Objectives:

Students will learn things about each other (and the teacher) they might not normally learn and have fun.

Materials:

Index cards, creativity, and a sense of humor

Activities and Strategies:

1. Pass out index cards.
2. Instruct students to write three statements about themselves. One must be a true statement. The other two must be untrue. (The more outrageous all three statements are, the better. Encourage students to think of odd information about themselves that no one would be able to know if it were true or false.)
3. Have either the student or a group leader read off the card. After all three statements have been read, have the students vote on which statement they believe to be true. Then have the student in question reveal the truthful statement.
