Icebreaker Activity Cards Back to School | Media Theme

Description

Get your new class connecting through these fun media-themed icebreaker cards!

These conversation-starter cards are a fun and engaging tool to get interactions flowing and help your students develop meaningful connections as they share their answers.

The icebreaker activity cards:

• are perfect as a start-of-year welcome activity for a new class
• inject instant fun through universally popular media forms of film, TV, video games and social media
• are great for small groups working together for the first time.

 
Each card contains an engaging image on one side, and a question prompt on the other. Questions are deliberately light and optimistic, allowing students to connect on common interests.
 

“A movie I know all the lines to is… the actor I’d love to meet… my go-to movie when I need a good laugh… my favorite social media platform…”

 
Although a conversation-starter activity may seem simple, it has the potential to build rapport and value into every person who participates. I have seen this activity transform the mood of a room from tired and disconnected to animated and energetic!
