Get Your Students Hired
thank you for the tip but would you send me some of the good sites you use for this icebreaker or even for different instructional styles. thanks
Hi Ginneh,
Thanks for sharing one of the icebreakers you use with your students. Most of us are always on the look out for icebreakers we can use. I think they really help to get a class off to a good start.

I also use the internet for quick fun filled ice breakers. Great way to get to the know the new students and for them to learn from each other! My favorite one is the game using the first initial of their name and an animal they most admire!
one would be one word to describe the class (what do they think the class will be all about?)
I like is one. I often use something you think people should no more about. But i like the short answers.
I like to have them each tell something about themselves, study, where they were born, number of people in their family, favorite food, and then something a little less ordinary, like favorite cartoon character.
I like icebreakers and use them but I would just add that like most things you can have too much of a good thing. My caution would be to make it short, not too much of a gimmick, and make it an extension of your personality. I say that because if you try to do something too clever and can't pull it off, you may create a harmful first impression rather than a good one. Trying to be a comedian when you are a serious person may not work to your advantage.
Thanks I did and a good one is the name game. There are a few others like each person tells a story of the best moment of there life or what is your favorite food.
Good idea
Thanks
