Write a challenge question for each of the buttons, and assign them points. Students choose a button and read the question. They can answer it to gain the points, or return it and try again. Just remember that other students know what's behind that button, though, and if they know the answer, they can grab it on their next turn and score the points!

Use this game to review the characters from a book, or famous historical figures. Reveal clues one by one until students guess the right person.

If you are like me and many other teachers, you may be tired of the same daily routine for your virtual teaching. I am ready to include some Icebreaker Videos for Virtual Teaching. I never expected that I would still be using things on my zoom meetings that I used in the spring, during the summer session, and through all of the fall, but here I am with kiddos still in remote learning...

Throughout all of this virtual teaching, I have dedicated tons of time assembling my videos, my games, my read alouds, etc. without much support in the search. I bet you have too! My friends and I at Education to the Core decided we needed to find some quick icebreakers to lighten up our zoom, meet, and teams meeting and now, we are sharing some of our finds with you! We hope you can use some of these immediately to help in either your morning kick-offs, subject transitions, or any time your students (and You!) are ready for a brain break!

The videos and activities by Amuse Your Brain are fantastic as they supply 2 pictures for the kids to combine into one compound word or let kids supply letters to build words. Each video gives the kids a time period to guess the word and then shows the answer. There is a selection of video riddles and each lasts only about 4-6 minutes.

We all know Jack Hartmann and his huge selection of videos, but I chose his Animal Freeze Dance Party to use with my kiddos. They love pretending to be animals. This video allows them that little break and is over in under 4 minutes!

Do your firsties pretend that they are speaking in Chinese or Spanish but really they are speaking gibberish? Mine do and thus, they love this less than 2-minute good morning song. Kiddos repeat the greetings given on-screen as they sing along with Juny and Tony.

If you have not yet checked out the morning meeting digital slides by ETTC, do so now because the daily slides are prepared for you! Each slide has a quick question whether it be Math Monday or Feelings Fridays. This is a fantastic way to keep kids connected with one another be it in a hybrid, remote, or in-person class meeting.

Why did the duck cross the road? Because he was chicken. Makes no sense right? My firsties love jokes and make up nonsensical ones like that one ALL...OF.....THE....TIME! When we are working extra hard in our zoom meetings and need some chuckles, this video is perfect!

When I am combining my online learners in an activity with my in-person learners, it is nice to play a quick game where I can watch for social distancing or keep some tabs on behavior. This particular video allows me 4 minutes to observe while Patty leads the game. She is pleasant to watch and listen to and if it is a good session, we sometimes play a few times!

Every once in a while, we need to regroup and calm down-a chance to regulate the sillies or grumpies so that we can refocus our attention to work. I like this video because it requires the kids to focus on the square so that they know when they are breathing in and when they are breathing out.

I have provided a link for this game but it is equally as fun to create your own with pictures on your screen. To begin, find a photo and zoom in to a small segment of it. Screen share just that small segment and ask kids to guess what it is a picture of. Make sure they really can't guess from your small segment. Gradually zoom out as kids yell out guesses of what the picture is. The kids love doing this a few times as we are waiting for kids to return from a break.

This game is typically played with students in 3rd grade and up but with a few adjustments to meet your own classroom levels, this digital freebie works great for firsties. The freebie is a list of categories for your screen that you assign a letter of the alphabet to. As a class, we generate as many items as we can for each category beginning with the chosen letter. If we get at least 5 answers for each category, kids can have a five-minute dance party at the end of the day's work sessions! My kids love the opportunity to just blurt out responses!

I like this particular breathing video because it is more seasonal with a cloud breathing and swaying trees as a snowflake drifts across the screen. A lot of times before we even start our morning meeting session, we will do this video as a group so that we can transition calmly from our home morning to our zoom morning.

No dance party or school day would be complete without some movement activities from GoNoodle. Whether it starts your day, is for a brain break, or wraps up the day, kiddos everywhere love this site! Besides silly songs and exercise, there are quite a few videos on here for mindfulness and calming breaths. This is the one site that you should have open on a tab ready to go because it is fantastic!

I love this site because it encompasses one of my favorite activities to do with my class-write group stories. Much like Mad Libs, the kiddos take turns supplying words that you enter into the site. Although designed for 3rd graders, with a little help, your firsties can do this! When you have filled all parts of speech or categories (10-15 words), you hit the generate story tab and it creates a silly story for your class. Your kids will giggle endlessly! And all it takes is 5-10 minutes!

#13 - Memory Game

No link or video needed here! Using a cookie sheet from my kitchen, I place 10-12 small objects on it. For 20-30 seconds, I hold the cookie sheet with items up in front of the camera. The students need to focus on and memorize what is on the sheet because once I remove it from camera view, no more peeks. The kids then need to tell me from memory what was on the sheet.

Why did I not know about this site before? Much like the wheel of fortune spinners, you can create your own spinning wheel! Create a spinner of animals to act like, exercises to complete, yoga poses, literally anything you wish to create on a spinner is creatable on this site! It takes less than a minute to create and the kids will love this method of choosing what to do next.

This video will play a sound and the kids try to guess what the sound is from. Is it a cow, a horse? No! It's a camel. With a variety of sounds and several videos, so you won't have to repeat, this is a great activity to complete in just a few minutes. Don't watch it all ahead of time because the kids will enjoy hearing you trying to guess (and making mistakes) right along with them!

If you have done Cosmic Kids Yoga with your students, then you are already familiar with Jaime. In this brain break, Jaime does Yoga with kids as they sit and stretch in their chairs. This is a great way to once again start the day with a calming transition or anytime throughout the day that your class may need some stretching.

I sometimes like to start my day or session with a couple of quick questions on Kahoot. I may ask a funny question or have those questions correspond to our learning for the day, as a short pre-assessment, check for prior knowledge. My students really like to see how many points they can get.

Although our list of Icebreaker Videos for Virtual Teaching is too extensive to share it all here, we hope these 17 suggestions offer you some fresh ideas for video icebreaker exercises and activities. If you have some selections of your own or have tried the above and made some modifications, please share them with us. We'd love to hear your thoughts and ideas and who knows, your suggestions could make it into several classrooms, helping several teachers along the way!

Do you use Kaboom! in your classroom? It has been my go-to center for the past few years, whether I'm teaching Firsties, or now third graders. If Kaboom! is new to you, or it is something you haven't yet tried in your classroom, here are some great reasons to give it a try:

1. It is highly engaging

2. It lasts for as long as you need it to!

3. It can accommodate nearly ANY content area/targeted skill!

4. It is quick to prep!

5. It costs next to nothing to make!

When I was first introduced to this game by a dear, sweet teacher friend, I didn't believe it! "You mean there's a game out there that can last an entire center rotation, isn't hard to make, can be used anywhere in my curriculum, and won't break the bank? Yeah right!"

Well, I was happily proved wrong! My teacher friend broke the game down for me, and I was amazed at it's simplicity and brilliance.
Let's Break It Down:
Step 1: Identify the Content or Targeted Skill You Want to Focus On

When I say that I find a way to use Kaboom! to teach/review EVERY content area, or any targeted skill, I'm totally serious! I have used it to teach all of the following concepts (plus about a million quite a few more!)

MATH Kaboom:

This version of Kaboom is available in my Time Centers Mega Pack

SCIENCE/SOCIAL STUDIES Kaboom:

Defining Key Terms/Vocabulary

True/False Statements

Geography

Time Line- Which Happened First?

LITERACY KABOOM!

Letter Identification

Phonemes

Phonics (short vowel, long vowel, silent e, vowel teams...etc.)

Sight Words

Blends

Rhyming/Word Families

Parts of Speech

How Many Syllables?

Punctuation

Vocabulary Definitions

Synonym/Antonym

Text Features

Genre Definitions

Story Elements

Prefix/Suffix

Step 2: Grab Yourself Some Popsicle Sticks

Trust me when I say that I have tried MANY different types of popsicle sticks, and your selection really does make a difference! I thought I was being really clever when I was first starting to use this game in my classroom. I bought a huge box of popsicle sticks from an arts and crafts store, because they were so much cheaper to buy in bulk! Well... I was completely wrong, and here's why:

1. Not all popsicle sticks were straight/flat, which makes it hard when you are trying to attach anything to them. Also, when they aren't straight it makes it difficult to write words or math sentences!

2. Not all had smooth edges. Can you say splinters?!?

3. The wood is often different shades. This may not seem like a big deal, but kids are clever and will memorize which popsicle sticks have Kaboom!

I prefer to use the wide popsicle sticks, because they make it easier to write legibly, and provide a larger surface area for gluing (i.e. they stick longer!)

This version of Kaboom is available in my Counting and Number Recognition Pack

I also loved using colored craft sticks because it helps give me some natural organization!

When I taught Firsties, I loved using Kaboom! to help my kiddos practice short vowel sounds. The colored sticks were perfect for keeping the games separated.

RED sticks for SHORT A

ORANGE sticks for SHORT E

YELLOW sticks for SHORT I

GREEN sticks for SHORT O

BLUE sticks for SHORT U

PURPLE for DIGRAPHS

Having them organized this way meant that my students could independently sort them by color when they were done, and the station was (almost) always clean!

If you are looking to splurge, you can also get Sticky Sticks. The fact that they come with adhesive strips already attached makes them the perfect solution to a last minute center!

Step 3: Decide How You Want To Attach Your Content

Depending on your content/skill, you need to decide what your best approach will be. For example, when I use Kaboom! to teach coins, it made the most sense to hot glue the actual manipulatives to the sticks to create different collections of coins.

However, when I'm looking for fact fluency, I am just going to grab my Sharpie and write different facts on each stick!

When I'm looking to incorporate pictures in these games, I break out the cardstock and the color printer. After some quick cutting, I have three possible options: hot glue, double-sided tape, or splurging on the Sticky Sticks (mentioned above).

This version of Kaboom is available in my Fractions Mega Pack

Step 4: Find the Right Storage Solutions for Your Classroom Needs

Storage is totally a personal preference! Our classrooms are all different layouts, some with cabinets, some with closets, some with shelves, and some with no walls at all! The method that works best for me in my current classroom are Crystal Light containers.

I don't drink Crystal Light, but my friends and family members know that I can always find a use for them (kind of like toilet paper rolls). They drop them off to me in bulk, and they never go to waste.

I put a piece of colored construction paper or cardstock in the container so that students cannot see the sticks (and cheat!). Then, add a simple label on the front for easy identification and voila!

Step 5: Introduce the Game to Your Students and Enjoy

Put all of the popsicle sticks face down so students can't see what is written on them. Here's how to play:

1. First student pulls out a popsicle stick.

2. The student identifies the "answer" or "correct response." If their answer is correct (determinded either by a reference sheet or their peers) they get to keep the popsicle stick. If they answer it incorrectly, the stick must go back in the cup.

3. The students continue around the circle, selecting one popsicle stick at a time and answering their question.

4. Any student who pulls a KABOOM! stick has to place all of the popsicle sticks they have accumulated back into the cup, leaving them with zero. (It may sound harsh, but it happens OFTEN, so all students will at some point get "Kaboomed!"

5. The game NEVER ENDS because eventually someone will get a Kaboom! and their popsicle sticks will go back into the cup to keep the game going.

I hope you and your kiddos enjoy this center, and you find it as versatile and simple as I have! Have fun and thanks for stopping by!

I use fun ESL warm up activities in my classes before the lesson begins, to break the ice or even as a time filler. Warmers bring energy to class and definitely fills the time with more learning when the lesson runs shorter than expected.

Below are some of the games that I have been using in my English class with available PowerPoint templates to help you start. I hope you would find them useful in your class.

ESL Warm Up Activities and Games

Boggle Vocabulary Game

This game is based off of the game BOGGLE in which players attempt to find words in sequences of adjacent letters.

The purpose of the game is to discover as many words as possible within a jumbled square of twenty five randomly selected letters. A valid word can only be formed if each letter is contiguous (i.e. side-by-side, above or below, or on the diagonal) with the next, and no letter position can be used more than once in any given word.

Game Type: Individual, Pair, Group

Vocabulary BINGO

This is a quick, no-prep vocabulary review game. Use the PowerPoint to show the winning pattern for the round. Students can make the grid and write the vocabulary words on their notebook or you may use the BINGO card template.

Disappearing Words

In this simple ESL activity, students are shown a word, phrase or sentence that disappears in 2 seconds! They need to remember what they saw and write them down on a mini-whiteboard or paper. The fastest team to show the correct answer wins the round.

Game Type: Individual, Team

Give Me 5!

The teacher calls out a student to give 5 things on a given category in 30 seconds! This is a good activity for reviewing vocabulary.

Game Type: Individual

Word Snake

Visual Puzzles

In this simple language game, students will guess the mystery word based on two or three pictures. The pictures are the clue to the puzzle so the students must be able to identify them first, then combine the words to get the answer. For example, the pictures of an "ice" and a letter "T" will create the word "iced tea" if combined.

Tongue Twisters

A tongue twister is a series of words or sounds that are usually repetitive and are difficult to pronounce quickly and correctly. Most English language teachers use tongue twisters to develop the students pronunciation and accent. Sometimes, we use tongue twisters just for the sheer fun of doing it. I often get my students to memorize this and ask them to say it out loud in class as a group and in pairs.

Secret Zombie Game

Students will go around the classroom asking and answering questions. After they have asked and answered, they will shake hands. The zombie will infect the other student by secretly scratching the inside part of the other student's hands.

Can students find the safe zone before it's too late? Or will zombies take over the world? Download this super engaging and fun conversation game now!

I use fun ESL warm up activities in my classes before the lesson begins, to break the ice or even as a time filler. Warmers bring energy to class and definitely fills the time with more learning when the lesson runs shorter than expected.

KJ's ESL Stuff was born out of a desire to share engaging material and great resources with our ESL and ELA teaching colleagues. We are two ESL teachers currently teaching English at the elementary level in the province of Quebec, Canada. As English teachers, we have taught elementary and high school level students in Quebec's public schools system. From first graders to adult learners, our focus has always been on developing material that entertain and nourish our students' minds as well as on providing them with resources that suited their needs. We are currently teaching an intensive English immersion program and love to challenge our students on a daily basis with all types of activities, projects and oral interaction games. Experienced teachers have developed the material in our store. It was tested in class and it is 100% students-approved. We sincerely hope that you will enjoy using our material and that you will come across one or two things that will help you provide that special student of yours what he or she needs to keep progressing. It is always a pleasure to hear that we are making a difference in your classrooms and that our resources help you make learning fun as well as spend less time on lesson planning!

As ESL teachers, we believe that the fundamental objective of language teaching is to help learners develop the competencies and skills to learn on their own. As language teachers, we are working on a daily basis to help students communicate orally using their L2 and love seeing them take risks. Cornerstones of our approach to ESL teaching stems from our background training in cooperative and collaborative language learning. We believe in the value of knowing the theory behind what we teach and how we choose to teach it. We love incorporating technology and hands-on activities that keep students engaged and excited about learning English. To us, teaching is about involving students and making them accountable for their own learning. Hence, we strongly believe in the value of creating positive interdependency among our students. That is why we love to adapt our material and differentiate learning experiences according to our actual students' needs. It is always a top priority when developing our yearly curriculum.

HONORS/AWARDS/SHINING TEACHER MOMENT

Nothing compares to the light in the eyes of a student that has just understood something he had been struggling with for a while. We help kids learn the basics of a language and help them progress over the years until we finally bid them farewell as they move on to the next big step of their life: high school. There is nothing like having an ex-student coming back to school to say have a chat with us or getting a thank you email years later. That is why we do what we do and why we love doing it!
