Like to Get to Know You Well

Can you name that artist?!?

This past week, our first grade team met & our fantastic team leader had us do a cute (& delicious) icebreaker. To start, we were asked to select 3 Starburst candies & they had to be different colors. Next, we had a list of questions color-coordinated with the candies. We went around the table and answered the appropriate questions. They were fun Qs, including: what's your fave city to visit, what's your favorite thing to shop for...

Side note: there are SIX general educators for 1st grade now (!), a special educator (that's me) and then a writing coach, interventionist, as well as someone from administration circulating between grade-level meetings. So there could be anywhere from 7-10+ staff members at meetings.

I was thinking this could easily turn into a student-friendly ice-breaker. Our school doesn't recommend using candy, so teddy bear counters could easily be used instead of gummy bears.

There's also a blank template to customize for your students.

 Enjoy!

  1. Thank you! This will work great for one of my classes. I only have them for 10-15 minutes a day.
