This activity I grabbed from another teacher, but is great to get students talking and thinking about the content we will see throughout the year in Biology. Each slide has a statement that the students can either agree or disagree with, so they move based on their stance, discuss with those around them, and then we talk about it as a class. Each statement is open-ended so depending on interpretation any answer can technically be correct. This also allows us to discuss the importance of precise language and using proper vocabulary.

This one is super simple and the kids really enjoyed it across all grades. Just present a random food dish to the students and they must choose whether that food would be a soup, salad, or sandwich. This really got them talking together and to me.

In both Math and Computer Science, students use a ton of symbols. Even though they might not know "&&" in programming yet, they know that "+" means adding! In preparation for all the new symbols they'll learn/use, they draw 3 symbols that represent them. Then, they share in small groups and/or the whole class!

Use a Google Form to gather student subject area experiences, set goals, share connections to MHS, questions about the class, etc. This is a great data collector for future CLT meetings or identifying students in need.

Think back to the people, places, objects, toys, experiences, etc. that have made you, you. Share your 10 to connect with the students. Gather 10 from each student to be used as future inspiration, connection points, or conversation starters.

Fun set of prompts to help me get to know the students. I also will come back and use them as a conversation piece throughout the semester as well. Gives me a little tiny insight into the student as a person.

Instead of the teacher leading every activity, have students break into groups and rotate to different conversations. Spanish 3 groups spend time reading the syllabus, taking surveys, having conversations, and playing games.

Every year, I would introduce myself with an updated version of this presentation. Integrated throughout are personal pictures, likes, stories, etc. At intervals, students are creatively grouped to share similar facts.

A fun activity getting students up and moving while assessing the history knowledge and likes of their peers. You can play it as BINGO or expect students to complete the entire page.

This is a nice inventory to determine what type of academic habits your students have. You may choose to convert this to a Google Form to gather group trends as well!
