Great way to start at the beginning of the school year. Great for use during our class social emotional learning discussions.

A nice twist on class idea of interviewing fellow students to get to know one another. Mine loved the physical movement and how quickly they could change partners. A great addition to my start of the year activities!

A great Get to Know You activity. The kids love being able to move around and talk. I loved observing how and who students interacted with. That in itself was valuable to me.
