What educators are saying

Thank you for creating such a valuable resource - saved prep time and was very engaging for students. Use them every year.
I used this as an ice breaker at a middle school youth group on the first gathering of the new year. This was a really fun and fresh way for kiddos to get to know each other and share a little bit about themselves. Thank you so much!

Stellar Reviews

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️My students love these ice breakers at the beginning of the school year. This is their first year in our school, and they are nervous and unsure of what to expect... this helped them work with each other and have fun, all of which alleviated the stress of the new school year. --Amy-Jo G.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Excellent getting to know you activity that has not been seen or done by kids before so they are really engaged and into it. --Pamela J.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️My students and I loved this! It is a fresh new way of having icebreakers. It provided great insight into the students personalities and allowed them to get to know each other. I even applied it to reinforcing procedures and norms in the classroom. Great job! --Aron V.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️I used this for the first day of school and took good notes on which students had things in common to form better groups in the future. Excellent Resource!

--Lynette D.
