							| ICE BREAKERS ...?! 
 |  
							| Hi everyone!   This school year I �m going to teach English in different classes (age of students: from 11 to16). As I don �t know a single student of any of these classes I �m thinking about suitable/funny so-called ice breakers that can be used in the very first lesson (in order to get to know the students!).   Have you got any suggestions/ideas/sites that could possibly help me?   I �d appreciate your comments very much.   Have a nice day and thanks in advance. |  1 Sep 2010

							| hi, here is what I do with my new students: bring a bag full of beans,balls or candies(they would love them:) and ask your students to grab a handful .then ask them to count how many beans/candies do they have.then ask them to tell you as many things about themselves as many beans/candies they have!If someone got many and ran out of things to say ask other students to ask some qstns.after the game students can eat candies:) it really works! have fun!
