Two Truths and a Lie: Each student takes turns sharing two true statements and one false statement about themselves. The rest of the class tries to guess which statement is the lie.

Human Bingo: Create a bingo card with different characteristics or experiences (e.g., has a pet, has traveled to another country, plays a musical instrument). Students have to find classmates who match each characteristic and have them sign their bingo card.

Name Game: Students stand in a circle and one person starts by saying their name and an adjective that starts with the same letter as their name (e.g., “I’m Joyful Jessica”). The next person repeats the previous name and adjective and adds their own. This continues until everyone has had a turn.

All About Me Poster: Give each student a large sheet of paper and art supplies. They have to create a poster that represents themselves, including their interests, hobbies, favorite things, and goals. Afterward, students can present their posters to the class.

Find Someone Who: Create a list of statements or questions (e.g., “Find someone who has a sibling,” “Find someone who has been to a concert”). Students have to find classmates who match each statement and have them sign their paper.

Would You Rather: Prepare a list of “Would You Rather” questions and have students take turns answering them. This activity encourages students to share their preferences and opinions while getting to know each other.

Speed Friending: Similar to speed dating, students pair up and have a set amount of time (e.g., 2 minutes) to ask each other questions and get to know each other. After the time is up, they switch partners and repeat the process.

Collaborative Art: Divide students into small groups and give each group a large piece of paper and art supplies. Each student takes turns adding something to the artwork, whether it’s drawing, painting, or collaging. This activity promotes teamwork and creativity.

Memory Game: Sit in a circle and start by saying your name and something you like that starts with the same letter as your name (e.g., “I’m Sarah, and I like soccer”). The next person repeats the previous name and interest and adds their own. This continues, with each person reciting all the previous names and interests, until everyone has had a turn.

Interview Buddies: Pair up students and have them interview each other, asking questions about their favorite hobbies, interests, family, and goals. Afterward, each student introduces their partner to the class, sharing what they learned during the interview.
