Teaching Tip of the Week - Breaking
the Ice |
| |
By: 7th Grade Language Teacher: Portland, Oregon
Find 5-10 really interesting pictures or posters about
8"x10" in size. Laminate the pictures and then cut them
into 4 equal pieces. Depending on how many students you
have in your class, pick out the number of pictures that
you need to equally distribute each piece to all students.
For example, if you have 20 students, you will need 5
pictures which will yield 20 pieces. Shuffle the pieces
and then randomly hand each student a piece. Ask the students
to find the other pieces to complete the puzzle. It's
a great ice breaker; it gets students to interact!

"You cannot teach a man anything; you can only help
him discover it in himself."

Jokes You Can Tell in Class
The flight home from a recent business trip was pretty
empty. So the pilot made a simple request of the passengers.
"We have a little extra room tonight, folks," he said
over the PA system. "So if you wouldn't mind, please
take a window seat so the competition thinks the plane
is full."
