Icebreakers
These icebreakers are equity-based in that they allow students to bring themselves and their identities into the classroom, setting the tone for mutual learning, connection, and respect.
This collection of icebreakers provides a variety of activities to choose from and implement throughout the semester.
In this icebreaker activity, students will have the option to share their first name, middle name, last name, nickname or any name that has a history or story.
In this activity, students spend five minutes writing a brief four-stanza poem about where they are from.
In this activity, the class sits in a circle while the facilitator poses a discussion question or questions. A ball of yarn, twine, or string is passed to each person who speaks.
