Starter 10 min Teacher will welcome pupils back to school. Teacher and co-teacher will
activity introduce themselves to the class.
On the board, each teacher will display some pictures with things that
mean something about her. (Each teacher will choose their own
pictures). For example, a cat, a suitcase, kids and pizza. Then, the
children will have to guess what those pictures mean to the teacher. For
example, they can say: You have a cat. Then, the teacher says: no… Then,
another pupil has a go: Your favourite animals are cats.
When they guess, the teacher will say if that is correct about herself or
not. Now, one of the things that they know is that their teacher likes cats.
After that, go to the next picture and so on. This way, pupils will know
some things about their teacher and can see what they have in common
with her. At the end ask: Can you remember everything about your
teacher? Do you have anything in common with them?
Main 30 min Icebreakers time!

Activity 1. Tell me about…: Display the “tell me about…” worksheet on
the smartboard that shows some questions. Choose different
children to choose a question and ask it to any pupil that they want
(as a class). Encourage them to talk as much as possible so that
they know more about each other. Once all the questions have
been asked, have some random pupils say something that they
remember about one of their classmates.
2. Find someone who…: Distribute the provided worksheet to each
group in the class. In groups of 5, have them ask each other
questions in order to find out what they have in common and to
complete the sheet. Once they have finished, have them discuss
orally as a class who they have more things in common with!
Chn will complete an All about me worksheet to be displayed in the

class. They can decorate their work for display.
Making a keyring with the first letter of their name and the class (they will
take it home with them).
Walk students to the rest room separating girls and boys. Show them
where to find the toilet and point out the markings on the floor with
arrows directing which side they should walk on. Then, explain to them to
look the door behind them and always flush the toilet.

Each team will have a mini board and a marker. The teams will be given 1
min to think of the answer first as a group (use the sand watch for that).

mini boards. Award a points to those who answer right.
Questions asked by the teacher:
 What do you have to ask/do if you want to go to the toilet?
 What do you need to do before speaking?
 How do we line up?
 What can we do if a friend is being bullied or has no one to play
with during break time?
 What are the 2 magic words that we should always use?
 How can we respect our teacher?
 How do we have to come to school? (prepared and bringing the
right equipment)
After the game, have pupils summarise the class rules, write them on
the board and make sure that they understand that they have to follow
them every day. (Display them inside the classroom on a piece of
construction paper)
Plenary Ask pupils to stand in a circle around the classroom. Next take a ball and
pass it to one of the chn and ask this child a question such as “if you could

the question, they should throw it to another pupil and ask them a
question.
