Dear new colleagues and friends,

Starting a new academic year can be stressful, no matter how many years
youve been teaching. New students, new colleagues, new classroom, new
syllabus Its enough to make anyone stressed and anticipate the worst.
Last year, I bought a bunch of fantastic e-books from busyteacher.org and here
Ill share a couple of pages with u guys. Ive included some interesting tips and
activity ideas to help you get through your first day. I cant be there in the class
with you but hopefully this reading might help some of you.
Ive also included some of my favourite first day activities from teach-this.com.
I have done all of them through the years Ive been teaching and they really
work. Most were done right at the beginning, but also while I was covering a
new class or when starting a new track with a new class.
The possibilities are limitless!! Its in your hands. :)
To a fantastic new academic year together!
Cheers!
Joey
NB: If you liked the articles, Ill share the whole library via myiaup.coms teacher interface soon.

Who Am I?: 7 Creative Ways to


Introduce Yourself to Your Class
ONE OF THE FIRST CHALLENGES
FACING NEWLY MINTED ENGLISH
TEACHERS, ESPECIALLY WHEN
TEACHING IN A FOREIGN COUNTRY,
IS FINDING A WAY TO INTRODUCE
THEMSELVES TO THEIR NEW CLASS.
Although it may vary depending on
the culture you are teaching in, the
students are generally interested in
you and curious about your life and
why you are now living in their country.
Sadly, many teachers mistake this as
an opportunity to hold a monologue at
the front of class as they run through a
presentation discussing their country,
schooling, hobbies, etc. While there
is nothing really wrong with this approach, it can get a bit boring for the
students, regardless of how curious
they are about you.
It is always better to get the students
not only interested, but involved in
the discussion if at all possible. While
question and answer period may be
a great way to do this, some cultures
(Korea for example) tend to discourage students from asking many questions. In those instances, it is important
that the teacher create opportunities
for the students to get involved. Here
are a few ideas about how to go about
doing that.

ENCOURAGE
STUDENTS TO GET
INVOLVED
FROM DAY ONE

FOOD

While our primary purpose is to


teach English, most foreign English
Teachers also serve as a cultural ambassador, or at least a multicultural
influence, in the classroom. Language
is certainly an important part of culture
but, lets face it: food is going to be way
more interesting to your students. As
part of your self-introduction, include
some information (especially pictures)
of your favourite foods. Depending
on the culture within which you are
working, you may want to explain how
the foods are made, what the ingredients are, and when they are usually

eaten. Bringing a bag of candy from


your home country (preferably candy
that students cannot purchase in their
own country) to serve as a prize in that
first class will also get the students interested in you and where you come
from.

GAME-SHOW-STYLE
QUIZ GAME

This method can take a bit more work,


but it has the benefit of giving students
a reason to listen and engage with the
class from the very first lessons. Create a short game-show-style activity
for the last half of your class. There
are many templates for this available online, but something along the
lines of jeopardy is usually best as it
allows for teamwork and is (usually)
a familiar game. Before starting your
presentation, divide your students into
teams and explain that there will be a
game based on this information at the
end of class. Having pre-knowledge
will encourage them to listen attentively. Present your introduction and
be sure to include some interesting
facts about your home country, province or state, culture, and family. This
information will form the basis of the
game. Once the presentation is complete, the teams will have the necessary information to participate in the
game. Play until the end of class. As
mentioned in the above point, some
candy from your home country might
be a great prize for this activity.

JIGSAW PUZZLE

This activity takes quite a bit


more preparation but is much more
interactive and student-based. There
are several ways to approach it. To
encourage speaking practice, create
a short write up about yourself and
where you come from (pictures always add to student interest) and then
cut it up into one or two sentence sections. Be sure that the language you
use is appropriate to the students levels. When class starts, divide the students into groups and give each group
part of the write-up and a lined piece
of paper. Each group must then send

out one or two people at a time to ask


other groups to share their sections.
Especially for higher level students
and classes, it is best to emphasise
that the slips must be read out loud
when they are being shared, not simply handed to the person asking for
them. Explain that the first group to
get the complete story wins. Suggest
that groups may want to bargain (ie.
I will give you point three if you have
point five).

20 QUESTIONS

TWO TRUTHS AND A LIE

This activity is one that is familiar


to most teachers, but only really works
for introductions to older classes that
have a relatively high English level.
To begin, introduce yourself by first
and last name. What happens next
depends on the age and level of the
students. For high level students who
have a solid grasp on geography the
first topic for twenty questions can be
your country of origin. From there topics can include province and/or city
(it may help to provide a map of your
country at this point), size of family,
type of degree etc. While this activity
can be interesting, it will not fill an entire class. Limit it to ten or fifteen minutes then move on.

This is a very simple game that


can take up ten or so minutes at the
end of an introductory class. It starts
to draw the students into speaking and helps them get to know a bit
more about their teacher. Teachers
need to come up with several small,
obscure facts about themselves and/
or their lives. The teacher will present
these statements in groups of three.
Two statements will be true and one
will false. False statements can be either completely fabricated or a slight
alteration of a truth. Start with false
statements that are more blatant and
progress to more subtle differences.
Students will guess which statement
is false. To turn this into a game, have
teams write their answers down and
then award points to the teams that
have guessed correctly.

READ, RUN, AND WRITE

STUDENT
INTRODUCTIONS

This is a good activity as it practices all aspects of English and gets


the students up and moving. Create a
list of facts about yourself, your country, and your family. Print off several
copies and attach them to the board
at the front of the room. Divide the
students into groups of four to six.
Each group will need a sheet of paper. One person in each group will be
the scribe. The others will take turns
running up to the board, reading and
memorizing as much as they can,
then running back to their group and
reciting what they can remember to
the scribe who will listen and write it
down. The first group to finish wins.
Remember when you are creating the
list to keep the language within reach
of your students levels.

Its easy to forget that your students


likely want you to know who they are
as well. Many teachers will have close
to a thousand students in a given semester, so it seems pointless to attempt to learn the student names. After all, there is no way teachers can
remember them all. However true this
may be, the act of introducing themselves is important to students in that
it gets them speaking and shows them
that they matter to the teacher.

STUDENT INTEREST IS AT ITS


HIGHEST WHEN TEACHERS
FIRST ARRIVE IN THEIR NEW
CLASSROOMS.
Finding creative ways to engage your
students from the very beginning may
be the key to capturing and maintaining students attention for the duration of the semester. They are curious
anyways, so instead of just talking at
your students, try drawing them into
conversation with you.

5 Ice-Breakers To Help Your Students Get to Know Each Other


Whether it is the first day of school or
your students have been studying together for most of the semester, get to
know you activities are very valuable for
the ESL classroom. For ESL students,
classmates and friends are often family
away from home, and the sooner and
better your students can get to know
each other, the more support and encouragement they will be able to give
and receive as they pursue their language studies. Here are some get to
know you activities that work well with
newly formed classes as well as those
who have already gotten to know each
other to some degree.

HELP YOUR STUDENTS


GET TO KNOW EACH
OTHER QUICKER

BEACH BALL TOSS

Help your students get to know


each other with this fun icebreaker activity. Prepare for the game by getting a
large plastic beach ball and writing several ice breaker questions on it with a
permanent marker. To play, arrange your
students in a circle and toss the ball to
someone. They catch it, read the question that is nearest their right thumb, and
then answer it. They then toss the ball
to another student who reads and then
answers the question nearest their right
thumb. Continue playing until everyone
in class has at least one chance to answer a question. You can also play this
game with a class that already knows
each other fairly well. Rather than answering the question right away, have
several students predict what the catchers answer will be to the question. After
three or four people have made predictions, have the catcher answer the question for himself and then toss the ball to
another student.

GET TO KNOW YOU


COLLAGE

This get to know you activity doubles


as a vocabulary builder for your ESL
students. Start by setting up a shadow
tracing station in your classroom. Simply
direct a bright bulb at a blank wall. Students work with a partner to trace each

others profiles. One person stands in


front of the light, and the other person
traces their shadow on a piece of white
paper. Students then cut out their profiles and paste them on a colored piece
of paper. Once students have their profiles, have them look through a collection of old magazines to find pictures of
things that interest them. They should
glue their interest pictures inside their
profile cut out, looking up any vocabulary words they do not know but will
need to talk about their pictures. After
the collages are finished, give each student a few minutes in front of the class
to talk about the pictures in their collage.
After the presentations, you can display
the collages around your classroom.

AN ALL ABOUT ME
ACROSTIC

A simple way for students to get to know


each other and learn adjectives that
describe people at the same time is to
have them create acrostics from their
names. Start by brainstorming with your
class a large list of adjectives that might
be used to describe people. Put these
words up on the board (and if you have
a daring class you might even want to
have students act out some of the adjectives). Once your lists are complete,
have each person write his full name
vertically down the left side of a piece of
paper. He must then choose an adjective that begins with each of the letters
of his name that also describes him and
write it next to the letters. For example,
someone named Li might write loving,
intelligent. Once the acrostics are complete, have students share their adjectives with the rest of the class. You might
even invite your class to suggest other
adjectives each person might have used
to describe himself.

GET TO KNOW YOU


GUESSING GAME

In this game, students will guess at information about their classmates based
on objects that person shares with the
class. As homework, each person should
gather two or three objects that represent something about them. It might be
something they love, something they
hate, something that evokes a certain

memory anything is ok as long as that


person can explain the connection between it and themselves. Students take
turns showing their objects to the class.
The class makes predictions about how
that object relates to their classmate.
After enough people have shared their
guesses, have the person explain how
the object really relates to them. Did
anyone guess correctly?

APPLES TO APPLES

This get to know you party game


is designed for native speakers, but that
doesnt mean your ESL class wont have
a ball with it, too. A simple set of Apples
to Apples cards costs as little as ten
dollars, and you and your students will
get hours of entertainment from them.
Each person receives seven cards that
have a characteristic of a person, place,
or thing on them (the red apple cards).
One person lays down a green apple
card, which has the name of a person,
place, thing, or event. Each player then
chooses one of his characteristic cards
that best represents the green apple
card and gives it to the judge for that
round (the one who laid down the green
apple card). That person reads all the
red apple cards and chooses the one he
thinks is most fitting. His choice is based
solely on his own preferences, and this
is how your students will get to know
each other. Whoever laid down the
card he chose gets to keep that green
apple card. Play continues around the
circle until one player has earned five
green apple cards or however many you
choose to set as the winning number. If
you like, you can leave the game at a
learning center for students to play during free learning periods. Make sure to
include a dictionary at the center so students can look up unfamiliar words.

THESE FUN ACTIVITIES NOT ONLY


GIVE STUDENTS A CHANCE TO GET TO
KNOW EACH OTHER, THEY ALSO GIVE
ESL STUDENTS AN OPPORTUNITY TO
LEARN NEW VOCABULARY AND PRACTICE THEIR SPEAKING SKILLS. Whether
your class is a bunch of old friends or
they are just meeting each other for the
first time, these activities can be valuable
tools for building a more tightly knit class
and supportive atmosphere in the classroom and outside it.

Getting to Know You: Every Level Ice Breakers for the First Day
ICEBREAKERS ARE IMPORTANT IN
ANY CLASSROOM, AND EVEN MORE
SO IN YOUR ESL CLASSROOM.
Your students will be working together
for the rest of the semester, and the
sooner they get to know each other,
the more supportive and encouraging they can be. Some icebreakers,
though, are better for beginning students while others are best for advanced students. Here are some activities you can use with your students
no matter what level you are teaching.

TRY THESE IDEAS


WITH BEGINNING
STUDENTS

20 QUESTIONS JAR

Keeping icebreakers simple for


beginning students will get your class
off to a stress free start, and this ice
breaker is one of the simplest. Write
a list of simple get to know you questions (Do you like sports? What is
your favorite song? What did you
eat for breakfast? What time to you
go to sleep? Etc.) Cut the questions
into small strips and put them in a
small jar. Students take turns choosing a piece of paper from the jar and
answering the question. This activity
also doubles as a fun way to review
specific grammar points you will cover later in class. Just formulate your
questions using the target grammatical structure and see if your students
can answer with the correct grammar.

ITS ON THE MAP

FUN FACT MATCH UP

If you teach a class of internationals, this activity will help them get
to know where their classmates are
from. On a large map, have everyone put a small sticker where they
are from. Once everyone has marked
home, allow students to guess which
sticker belongs to each person in your
class.

This simple icebreaker matches


each student (and you) to an unex-

pected fact. Have each person write


a fun or unexpected fact about themself on a sticky note (I have a pet
squirrel, for example). Collect all the
sticky notes and put them on your
front board. Students come up one at
a time and point to a fact. They then
guess who the fact describes. If they
guess right, they keep the sticky note.
If they guess incorrectly, they leave
the note on the board. Students take
turns until all the notes are gone. The
person with the most notes in their
possession at the end of the activity
wins.

WARM UP YOUR
INTERMEDIATE
STUDENTS

TWO TRUTHS AND A LIE

This simple icebreaker requires


nothing other than personal creativity.
Students prepare three statements
about themselves two that are true
and one that is a lie. On her turn, a
student shares her statements with
her classmates, and they must guess
which statement is the lie. This icebreaker even works with students
who already know each other, as long
as your students can come up with
some really interesting facts about
themselves.

STUDENT BINGO

This ice breaker will require a


little preparation on your part, but after the initial investment you can use
it year after year. On a blank Bingo
board, fill in the boxes with phrases
that might describe the people in
your class: likes soccer, was born this
month, has more than two siblings,
speaks more than two languages,
comes from the same home country
as you, etc. (You can see some examples here:
http://binged.it/1kHorzN ) Give each
person a copy of the sheet. Then on
your go, have students mingle and
talk to each other, looking for someone who fits the description in one of
the boxes. When they find someone

who does, that person should sign


their name in the box. When someone gets five boxes in a row, he calls
Bingo and wins the round. If you like,
play another round, but you will need
a bingo board with different descriptions in the boxes to make the second
round as challenging as the first.

HELP YOURSELF

Bring a big bag of M&Ms to


class on the first day and pass them
around, but tell your students to wait
before they indulge. Once everyone
has taken at least one candy, its
time to get to know each other. Go
around the room and give each person a chance to share about himself
or herself. He will have to share one
piece of information for every piece of
candy he took. Some students may
not have much to say if they only took
a few pieces of candy. Others with a
sweet tooth may end up sharing twenty or more pieces of information about
themselves. After a student shares,
he can enjoy his chocolate while listening to his classmates.

USE THESE IDEAS


WITH ADVANCED
STUDENTS

ICE BREAKER JENGA

WOULD YOU RATHER?

One of the greatest investments


I ever made for my classroom was in
a simple set of Jenga style stacking
blocks. Its a fun game and easy to
play, but I wanted to add a language
element and use it with my ESL students, so I wrote an icebreaker question on each block. I have groups of
students play the game, and whatever
block they pull, they have to answer
the question on it. Its a great way to
learn about each other without putting
a lot of pressure on students, and the
game aspect gives us all something to
enjoy while we are answering questions.

7 Back to School Games And Activities To Help Your Students Bond


WHETHER YOU HAVE A CLASS FULL OF
ANTSY FIVE-YEAR-OLDS, SHY TEENS,
OR BUSY ADULTS LEARNERS, THEY ALL
HAVE ONE THING IN COMMON: THEY
WILL BE TOGETHER FOR THE DURATION OF THE ESL COURSE, AND THEY
WILL WORK TOGETHER TO ACHIEVE
THEIR ENGLISH-LEARNING GOALS.
What better way to start classes than to
help them get to know each other? Here
are some games and activities. These
are more than simple icebreakers -- they
will help your students really bond as a
group.

BACK TO SCHOOL:
HOW TO HELP YOUR
STUDENTS BOND

A BLANK CANVAS TO FILL

Once youve greeted all of your


students and gotten all of the introductions out of the way, present them with
a completely blank bulletin board. Tell
them that their first task as a group will
be to decide what they want to do with it:
Fill it with drawings of what they did
over the summer?
Put up family photos?
Choose a theme and decorate accordingly (fall, summer movies, pop
stars?)
What they hope to learn?
When they have chosen their theme,
they must decide how they will decorate
the bulletin board and which materials
they will use (you may have a box of
odds and ends they can recycle).

RIGHT ON OR DEAD WRONG?

Hand out slips of paper and ask


each student to write two things about
themselves that are true and one thing
that is untrue. Shuffle the papers and
give one to each student. Students must
guess which statement is untrue about
their classmate.

SHOW YOUR STUFF

Tell your class that they will have


the chance to show off their best talent.
Have students divide themselves into

groups according to different abilities.


Form groups of students who have musical talent, artistic skills, or are really
creative writers. Each group has to work
as a team to prepare something to show
to the class. Dancers may choreograph
one of their favorite songs. Artists may
create a poster. Writers may write a short
story. Give them enough time to prepare
and choose a day for your talent competition. Each team has to vote for another
team they consider the best. The winning team wins a special prize.

THINGS IN COMMON

Create a questionnaire with 5 to 10


questions like:
Whats your favorite American/English food?
Whats your favorite American/English TV show?
Whats your favorite international
pop star?
Whats your favorite color?
What month were you born in?
Etc.
Students must first complete this questionnaire and then walk around the
classroom to find other students they
share some of these things with. They
must write the names down. When everyones done, each student counts how
many people they share things with. The
student with the biggest number wins!

WHAT A CUTE BABY!

BAG IT!

Or perhaps they can draw something connected to a sport they play.


Or their country of origin.
Secondly, they must place three
things that represent them inside the
bag. Obviously, they must be small
enough to fit inside.
Finally, they must bring the bag and
its contents to school, and share it
with the class.

CHOOSE A CLASS NAME


AND CREATE A FLAG

You may have a class with students from


different backgrounds and nationalities.
While you may encourage them to share
information about their countries of origin, it would be nice for them to also form
their own little nation. Ask students to
come up with a name for their class:
English Ninjas, Grammar Warriors, or
the like. Then, they may create their own
class flag or banner, something that will
represent them as a group. If you decide
to create a class website, you can tell
parents what your English Ninjas have
been up to and proudly display their
work.

TRY ANY OF THESE ACTIVITIES, AND


YOULL SEE. WHAT WAS AT FIRST
A GROUP OF COMPLETE STRANGERS WILL BECOME A GROUP OF STUDENTS WHO SHARE A GREAT MANY
THINGS AND ARE READY TO EMBARK
ON THIS ADVENTURE THAT IS LEARNING ENGLISH AS A SECOND LANGUAGE.

Ask students to bring in baby pictures of themselves and put them up on


the bulletin board. Students take turns
matching a student to a baby pic. The
student who guesses the most correctly
wins. For obvious reasons, this game
works best with teens or adult learners.

Give each of your students a paper


bag and instruct them on what to do with
it:
First, they must decorate it in a way
that represents them. Students may
draw a guitar on it because playing
the guitar is their favorite thing to do.

The Name Game
Age/Level: Young learners

Time: 10 to 15 minutes

Players: 2 teams

Preparation: Two balls


Aim: For students to get to know one anothers names
This ESL introduction game is ideal for the first day of class and helps young learners get to
know each other in a fun and imaginative way. This game is also great for teaching
pronouns.
Procedure
Arrange the students into two teams and sit each team in a circle.
Tell the teams that they are going to race each other to say everyones name in their team.
Give the first student in each team a ball. The first student begins by saying their name, e.g.
I'm Tom.
The first student then passes the ball to the second student.
The second student repeats the first student's name and then adds their own name, e.g.
He's Tom, and I'm Kate.
The second student passes the ball to the next student.
The next student continues, e.g. He's Tom. She's Kate, and I'm Amiko.
This continues until all the names have been said.
If a student forgets the name of a teammate, the team starts over from the first student.
The first team to finish wins a point.
You can carry on the game with other personal information, e.g. age, height, etc.

Teachers Question Time
Age/Level: Any

Time: 40 minutes

Players: Individual

Preparation: None

Aim: To write and respond to questions about the teacher


Here is a fun icebreaker to play with a new class of students. This activity is an entertaining
and intriguing way to introduce yourself to the class. It also provides the students with a
chance to write and respond to a variety of questions.
Before you begin the activity, dont give the students any information about yourself.
Procedure
Begin by asking the students to write some questions that they would like to ask you. The
questions can be about anything they want to know about you or the course.
If you have a large class, ask each student to write three questions. If it is a small class, ask
each student to write five.
While the students are writing the questions, write the students names on the board.
When the students are ready with their questions, ask a student to come to the front of the
class. Tell the class that the student at the front of the class will now play the role of the
teacher and attempt to answer the questions of another student.
The student then tries to guess the answers to the questions asked by another classmate.
Its important not to reveal how the activity works until the students have written all their
questions as this may affect the questions the students write.
While the student is answering the questions, you keep score.
The student scores one point for a correct (or close enough) answer.
Write an X for any incorrect answers. If a student gets an X, the classmate asking the
question should also mark an X next to the corresponding question.
The students take it in turns to be the teacher and guess the answers to another classmates
questions until everyone has asked and answered a set of questions.
At the end of the activity, tell the students to ask you the questions that were left
unanswered. This time you can give them the real answer.

My Life in Five Sentences
Age/Level: Elementary and above

Time: 20 minutes

Players: Pairs

Preparation: None

Aim: To practice sequence words and find out interesting information about a partner
This is a great ice-breaker activity to play with new students on the first day of class.
Procedure
Write five sentences on the board about interesting things you have done in your life.
Tell the students that the sentences on the board are things you have done in your life but the
order is wrong.
Ask the students to put the five sentences in the correct order using words that express
sequence, i.e. first, second, then, after that, finally.
The students can do this verbally or you can have them write the sentences.
Ask various students for their sequence until someone gives you the correct order.
Next, tell the students to write five sentences about interesting things they have done. Tell the
students to avoid writing sentences where the chronological order is obvious.
When they have finished, divide the students into pairs.
The students look at their partners sentences and try to put them in the right order using
sequence words.
If the order is wrong, the student tries again until they get it right.
You can make this ice-breaker more challenging by using more sentences, e.g. My life in ten
sentences.
When the students have finished, get feedback from around the class about any interesting
information students found out about their partner.

Who am I?
Age/Level: Any

Time: 20 minutes

Players: 2 teams

Preparation: None

Aim: To ask questions about the teacher


Play this fun ESL icebreaker on the first day of class. It's a great game to get the students
asking questions. It also helps to introduce the teacher to the students and helps identify
who are the strong and weak students. This introduction game can be played by students of
all ages. This game is useful as it gets your new students to open up and start asking
questions from the very first day of class.
Before you start the game, cover the board with information about yourself. Next to each
piece of information write a number. The type and amount of information you write will
depend on the level of your class.
Procedure
Divide the students into two teams (A and B).
Tell the class that on the board is information about you. Tell the students that the objective
of the game is for teams to choose a number and ask a question that they think matches the
answer on the board.
Teams then take it in turns to choose a number and ask a question.
Teams score one point for asking the correct question and one point for using the correct
grammar. The winning team is the one with the highest number of points at the end.
Explain that for some answers many questions may be possible, but only one question is
correct.
For example, you have written the colour blue as one answer.
Teacher: What number would you like Team A?
Team A: Number 2 please. What is your favourite colour?
Teacher: Sorry, that's the wrong question. My favourite colour is green. What number would
you like Team B?
Team B: Number 2 again. What colour are your eyes?
Teacher: Correct. Well done. Two points for Team B. That's the correct question and the
grammar is correct. (The teacher crosses off number 2 from the board) What number would
you like Team A?
Team A: Number 8 please. How long have you been teaching English? Etc.
Example:

Who am I? Ask the CORRECT question

John

Blue

Yes, I can.

The beach

London

Football

10

11

12

13 years

10 years

183 cms

Honda

Yes, I am.
