"What ´s your name?" Game
|

Is there any cool activity I can use with students related to "introducing yourself"? They ´re 10-14. And I can ´t think of one good game right now.
Please, help me.

I have a stack of cards with questions written on them. I ask students to sit/stand in a circle and every person takes a new card and has to answer the question. Then I sometimes - depending on ability - ask the others to guess what the question was. I used this method quite often and they loved it.
ETA: They have to say their name before answering the question and then after they´d answered the questions, I´d ask them questions about each other e.g. What was Johan´s favourite colour? |

For the younger ones a game like the Introduction game on this website, maybe:
And for a bit older ones a "Find someone who..." . You can use a template like the one suggested here:
teslj.org/Handouts/Kelly-Classmates.html
or write your own questions.
Here are some more tips:
I ´ve tried "Find someone who..." and it can be pretty fun. |

Another idea for an icebreaker/ warm up would be to use famous names since they love the idea of being famous, even for a few seconds and produces quite a lot of laughs. The idea is to have pairs so that they have to find the other half of the pair. |
