♡ More than just a bunch of silly questions, they support student engagement and learning while reducing conflict and disruptions.

♡ These engaging games can be seamlessly integrated into each lesson without taking much time—a 5-minute investment for huge impact.

♡ Help students develop crucial social and emotional skills that translate into better relationships with peers and a more collaborative class culture!

How you can use these Questions:

✏️ Back to School: Use as fun and low-stakes icebreaker games on the first day back at the start of the year (or to ease back in at the start of a new term).
✏️ Brain Breaks: Quick, fun, and engaging 5-minute brain breaks.
✏️ Ongoing Community Building: Develop a positive class community throughout the year by using one (or a few) slides a day as attendance questions or as a part of your morning meeting.
✏️ Starter Activities: Use as bell-ringer tasks or morning work to get students warmed up and ready for the lesson or day.
✏️ Engaging and appropriate game for class parties: Need a student-friendly game for a class party or the end of the year? Here it is!
✏️ Filling in a little bit of time: Use to fill in those 5 minutes of ‘dead-air’ time in a structured way, reducing disruptions and chaos (in a way that still gets students thinking and collaborating!!)
