Ask the students to write me a letter at the beginning of the year telling me about themselves (their likes, dislikes, hobbies outside of school, and how they think they learn best) and I reply to each letter.

The first thing I try to do is find out some of my students' interests. There are a number of ice-breakers that can help me do this (paper planes, one sentence stories etc).
Once I have an idea of the variety of interests in the class, I tend to try to group these under common themes (e.g. sport, art, pop culture, gaming etc.).
Then, based of the types of themes I can see, I can run small activities (trivia, games, riddles, creative projects) that can help students share their interests further with me and with others.
