Icebreakers and team building activities

I came across this very interesting website, www.icebreakers.ws, that includes a good selection of icebreakers and team building activities organized by names, group size and categories. There are active activities that will get your students to move, get-to-know-you activities, and team building activities.

Many teachers believe that icebreakers or get-to-know-you activities are carried out only at the beginning of the school year or course, but they are a very good opportunity to learn more about your students: their likes and dislikes, their personal and learning needs, their motivation, etc. They are also a good opportunity for informal formative assessment and a communicative activity that is very much personalized. Don't miss out the chance to understand your students better, and help them develop interpersonal relationships with their classmates.
