Hi, you could try a wordsearch. I used this in my class and the students enjoyed it. I am also using this in my class this week.
Good luck

Hi Mary
 
You chould do one or two GTKY activities.  GTKY stands for �get to know you �.  There are lots of different activities of this kind - they �re intended to make students feel relaxed, meet each other or meet the teacher and learn a little about each other.  Most GTKY activities are also designed to get the students speaking.
 
What level are your students? And what ages?

A signature game as was suggested by one member above is a good ice breaker.  What about some flashcards on a topic they might know.  You can set up a frame for them.  This is a _noun_.  It is size, color,  and personal opinion of it.  For example a picture of a banana.  This is a banana.  A banana is long, yellow and sweet.  Gets the students talking is an easy secure format.

I sometimes use a game which I call a word snake.  I write a word on a board (any English word, but I cirrcle the last letter) students come o the board one by one and write a word begining woth the last letter of the previous one. It looks something like this:

SNOWINDOWHITE  ...

The  words can not be repeated, who repeats the word or makes a mistake has to miss one turn. It is quick, usually it keeps class interested. I hope you will find it useful.
