The new school year is just beginning. Teachers will have new classes, new challenges, and much more facing them. Here are some great ideas to start your new school year with a bang.
1) Star game - Show students a personal side of you with this.
On the board draw a star and write your name in the middle.
At each of the points write something about you (keep it simple no more than 2 words)
Students have to guess and ask questions.
You can also ask students to do the same, come to the front of class and take it in turns.
2) Two truths and a lie - Maybe you've played this game before or maybe not but it is great for showing a more personal side.
Write 2 things on the board that are true and 1 thing that is false.
Students have to guess which is false.
Ask students to play and find out more about your students.
3) Class contract - Show a video on advice for life like the one here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZfsyrNKhNTE)
Ask students to write down 3 pieces of good advice they hear
Ask students to give themselves and each other advice for the comingschool year.
Get students to choose the top 10 most important.
Write it down on an A3 sheet of paper.
Get students to sign it.
Put it on the wall every class.
4) rules board race
Get students to write down as many rules as possible in teams on the board one after another.
The team with the most rules wins.
Choose 10 and use them as the rules.
5) Mingle - This is a great way for students to get to know each other personally and for you to listen to what they have to say.
Students are given a list of 10 verbs in a column of a table, they have to form questions with them.
Ask them to think of 3-5 more questions.
Students then stand up, move around the room and ask each other questions.
