I just got the call last night that they needed a 3rd grade teacher for CCD. I'm really excited because I am going to Grad school for elementary ed and this is a great way to get familiar with making lesson plans, classroom settings etc...
Anyway, since it is so last minute (classes start next week ) I need to come up with my first lesson plan...but the director told me that the first class should be somewhat fun and an ice breaker for the kids...whats a fun way of getting the kids to know each other???
My mind is completely blank on this...I was thinking of pairing them off and having them interview each other and then introducing their partner to the rest of the class..but I think they may be too young for this....PLEASE HELP
TIA

Re: XP - CALLING ALL TEACHERS - CCD
3rd grade should be fine for that. I also once did a Bingo game with the boxes marked off like, 'has 1 brother', 'dad's name starts with an M', 'Likes to play soccer' and they go around the room and ask people if any of the boxes fit them and they have to initial/sign in their friends' box.
With 2nd I also had them sit in a circle and we went around using an adjective and then their name (same letter)
Fun Felicia Beautiful Barbara and the person has to repeat what the person before them said and add their name to it.
