         <title>Two Truths and a Lie - With a Twist</title>
         <author>dinanand</author>
         <link>https://padlet.com/dinanand/ymihe6rb20tg31lb/wish/3391171450</link>
         <description><![CDATA[Each student writes down two truths and one lie about themselves on a piece of paper. Instead of immediately guessing, group members ask follow-up questions about each statement to try to determine which is the lie. This encourages deeper conversation and helps students develop questioning skills. Time: 15-20 minutes. Materials: Paper and pens.]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[Create a bingo card with interesting characteristics or experiences (e.g., 'has traveled to another country', 'plays a musical instrument', 'has more than two siblings'). Students mingle and find classmates who match each description, signing their name in the corresponding box. First to complete a line wins! Time: 20-25 minutes. Materials: Pre-made bingo sheets.]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[Arrange students in two circles (inner and outer). Students in the inner circle face outward, while those in the outer circle face inward, creating pairs. Give conversation prompts (e.g., 'What's your dream vacation?', 'What's your favorite memory from school?'). After 2 minutes, outer circle rotates one person to the right. Time: 15-20 minutes.]]></description>

         <link>https://padlet.com/dinanand/ymihe6rb20tg31lb/wish/3391171459</link>
         <description><![CDATA[Students share the story behind their name - its meaning, why their parents chose it, any nicknames they have, or how they feel about their name. This activity helps celebrate diversity and creates personal connections. For students who don't know their name's story, they can share what they would name themselves and why. Time: 15-20 minutes.]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[Break students into groups of 4-5. Each group has 5 minutes to find as many things as possible that they ALL have in common (beyond the obvious like 'we're all students'). Groups then share their most interesting commonalities. This builds team spirit and helps find unexpected connections. Time: 15 minutes.]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[Students write letters to themselves that will be opened at the end of the school year. Include current favorites, goals for the year, predictions, and hopes.

         <description><![CDATA[Each student brings a meaningful object from home in a box or bag. Without showing the item, they give three clues about it. Others try to guess what it is before it's revealed. The student then explains why this object is significant to them. Time: 25-30 minutes. Materials: Boxes or bags to hide items.]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[Create a large timeline on a wall or floor using string or tape. Students add important moments from their lives using sticky notes (color-coded by category - e.g., family, school, achievements). Everyone walks through the timeline together, sharing stories and finding connections between different events. Time: 30 minutes. Materials: String/tape, sticky notes, markers.]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[Students sit in a circle. One person starts by giving a positive superlative to the person on their right (e.g., 'Most likely to become a famous artist'). That person must then connect their own superlative for the next person using the same first word (e.g., 'Most likely to write a bestselling book'). Continues around the circle. Time: 15-20 minutes.]]></description>
