What’s My Name – Icebreaker

Building relationships with our students starts with the first interaction, the first “Hi!” the first “welcome to our classroom!” It is essential that we build relationships with and between students. The What’s My Name activity is a strong start to a successful learning experience. I have the students use the guiding questions to direct their conversation with 2-3 other class colleagues AFTER I have given my “What’s My Name” response as a model. My goal is to have the students make connections with one another in an emotionally safe environment as well as learn more about their class colleagues.
