Ice - breakers

These are funny Ice-Breakers to use before your classes. They're perfect for new groups.


HOT SEAT

Ask students to make a circle with their chairs. Set one of the chairs to be the Hot Seat. The student who seats in the hot seat has to say a true sentence about himself. For example: "My name is ... and I have blue eyes." All the other students that think the sentence is true have to stand up and change seats, including the student who was in the hot seat.

The next student who takes place in the hot seat has to say a sentence again.


HOW WAS YOUR WEEKEND?

How many times have your students answered this question already?
Well, I bet none this way!!

Write different names of famous people in pieces of paper. Ask students to pick up a name, but not show their friends. They'll have to answer each other how was their weekends, but pretending they're the person on the paper.

It becomes more interesting if you ask them to guess who their friends are. The one who guesses more may win some prize.



ADJECTIVE ACTING

This one goes well to groups that have just learned adjectives.
Divide them in teams and ask for a leader from each team.

The leaders go to the front and mime the adjectives you choose. You can start with easy ones, such as happy, cold, hot, and then make it more difficult.



I'll be back soon with more ideas!! ;]
