Icebreakers
9. A Question on a Chair (7-10th grades)
Arrange the class in a circle. The numbers of chairs should be equal to the number of students. To each chair stick a note with a question.
The students walk around the chairs while you play music (use your phone or the computer). When you turn the music off, each student sits on a chair and checks the question on it. Let the students a minute to think about their question and then ask them to share their answer.
Do 4-5 rounds of this - make sure every student gets a chance to share.
