Ice Breakers

Teaching Today - Teaching Tip of the Day Teaching Today - Teaching Tip of the Day

Look at Me!
Use this ice breaker to help students get to know each other and have fun in the process. Have a student introduce herself (or himself) and tell something she’s done that she thinks no one else in the class has done. If another class member has done the same thing, the student must come up with something else until she finds something no one else has done. Have students who are more outgoing begin this ice breaker.
