Great resource for the beginning of the year, and getting to know one another.

This game made our first day of school very interesting. The students loved playing. I modified it slightly to make it work for my group.
Ryann S. –
This was an excellent get to know you activity! I added a bonus at the end to see how many students could remember the answers to the question they asked! The students loved it!
Shelby C. –
Used this at the start of the school year with my little ones and they loved it! Plan on using it again this school year.
Kelli M. –
Walk, Talk, and Trade is a great way for students to move around and communicate. This was the first one we have done this year and the students had so much to say!
Jenny L. –
students loved the variety of think, pair, share questions. I liked to mix them in when doing review for a math lesson or phonics with a think, paired share.
TINA W. –
A great way for my kiddos to engage with each other and myself on the first day of school. Love that it is age appropriate for the ‘big kids’.

Used these for my morning meeting with my students and they were a big hit!

Walk Talk and Trade is a great way for students to move about and communicate what they are learning about or have learned. My students liked this one and always seem excited when I tell them this is their activity for the day. Thanks!
