Hi! Mysweetself, look on the internet for the Icebreake ideas or warm up. I will suggest you and activity choose different kinds of animals (the number of animal will depend if you want to make the activities in pairs or bigger groups), make small pieces of paper and write down the name of the animal. The main thing is that you have to put them in pairs and what they have to do is in order to find who is their pair they will make the sound and movements of each animal. When the find their partner they will ask each other questions about them, so they can get to know themselves.
 
Hopefully I was clear and you can make this activity that is also fun. If you have doubts go online and look for Ice break activities esl.
 
Good luck!!

Hello! This year, what I did to introduce students to each other was the following:

I blown up balloons of different colours and put sheets of paper with the names of the pupils in each balloon. Pupils had to come to the front, pop up a balloon (they could do it with a needle, a pin, or either with their bottoms so as to make the game funnier) and call out the name on the paper. That person would come front, say hello and continue the game.

It �s a bit time consuming because you have to know all the students � names in advance, make the cards with the names, get the balloons, but kids love it!!!
 
I hope you enjoy it!!!
