 Ice Breakers
Acting Adjectives

Call students to the front of the class, mostly at random. (You might want to use
a more outgoing seeming student first) Show the student an adjective, and they
have to act it out for the other students to guess the word. No speaking allowed
by the student doing the acting.

Mix together easy and difficult adjectives so the student talking doesn't know
what kind he or she is going to get.
Easy examples - fast, happy, cold, sleepy, short
Difficult examples - wet, rich, lazy, late, smart

What made you smile. ?

The objective of this activity is ...to wake the students up in the morning. Simply
ask them: "What made you smile today?" And let them tell you about the things
that made their day/morning.

Three things in common

This activity is for the first day of class with students who don't know each
other. It requires no preparation.
The students must ask each other question until they find three things that they
have in common. They must be things that are not obvious. For example, they
can't say we both have black hair.
It is easy to model the activity interviewing a student until you find three things
that they have in common with you. Maybe choose a student you already know
for this so you don't have to spend too long.
Students can repeat this several times and then report back their
findings to partners or the class

Beyond introductions

Have pairs prepare interview questions to create a ficticious person. Then they
present that person to the class in the same way that they presented each other.
Then, put two of the groups together and ask them to come up with a 15 to 20
line dialogue between the two ficticious persons.

THE TEXT

1/ John sat in his bedroom. It was a beautiful day, and he wanted so much to
run along in the sunshine with his friends. He remembered the days which he
used to spend running with his two brothers and his father. He was the youngest,
but the fastest. Then, a year ago he had a terrible accident. A car hit him. His
legs were paralyzed permanently. A tear rolled down his face. He wanted to run
and be on the school track team but he never would again.

2/ A month later John became a student at Harmon high school. One day
the headmaster Mr. Peter met john and said:” I hope you will participate in the
sports we offer to the handicapped students.” John’s face lit up. «Sports” how
could he play sports in a wheelchair? “We have a track team competing against
other schools just like regular sports. They race in their wheelchairs. You must
use your arms to make the wheelchair go fast.”

3/John was ready on the day of the competition. He would race a

kilometer against a champion from another school. He really hoped to win the
race for his brothers and parents. The race started. Soon, John and his opponent
were wheel to wheel. John went faster and faster but his opponent was ahead of
him. John was angry. He could see the finish line. He thought of his father’s
words, “You’re going to be in the Olympics one day.” With that he went faster
and faster than before. He broke the white ribbon and he won the race. He saw
tears in his mother’s eyes.

Someone Like You Lyrics

I heard that you're settled down
That you found a girl and you're married now
I heard that your dreams came true
Guess she gave you things I didn't give to you

Old friend, why are you so shy?

Ain't like you to hold back or hide from the light

I hate to turn up out of the blue, uninvited

But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it
I had hoped you'd see my face and that you'd be reminded
That for me, it isn't over

Never mind, I'll find someone like you

I wish nothing but the best for you, too
Don't forget me, I beg, I remember you said
Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead
Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead

You know how the time flies

Only yesterday was the time of our lives
We were born and raised in a summer haze
Bound by the surprise of our glory days

I hate to turn up out of the blue, uninvited

But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it
I had hoped you'd see my face and that you'd be reminded
That for me, it isn't over

Never mind, I'll find someone like you

I wish nothing but the best for you, too
Don't forget me, I beg, I remember you said
Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead, yeah
