Back to School games can be a fun way to help students get to know each other and build community. Try mixing up some printable activities with some interactive games for back-to-school fun!
1. Duck and Cover
Students form a circle. One student stands in the middle, spins around, stops, and points to a classmate saying, "Duck and cover!" The student that was pointed at ducks and covers their head. The students on either side of the student ducking try to say the other classmate's name first. The slowest to respond loses the round and goes to the middle. The student who was just in the middle takes that student's place in the circle. Begin the next round and continue as time permits. What a fun and fast-paced way to learn classmates' names!
2. FREE Printable Icebreaker
This is the one where students try to find classmates who share the same interests or experiences. Grab a FREE Back-to-School Icebreaker HERE!
3. Following Directions Game
Students love this game! You can even time students, and have them try to beat their best score throughout the school year!
4. Fishing Game
This game helps students who are shy or introverted participate. Students fish for questions with straightforward answers.
Mix these games into your first-day (or second-day) plans and watch your class family connections form!
Make sure to have some fun yourself before you go back to school...
