First Days of School - Ideas

Here are some icebreaker activities to evoke discussion

Here is an idea for making a democratic classroom, agree on rules together. I used this for a music class, feel free to modify if you like the idea!

Here is an SEL Activity - Naming your emotions with Emojis. Feel free to copy/modify as you like

Here is another SEL project using music. I did this during distance learning, so it is REALLY tech-heavy. You can modify to what you are comfortable with. This asks a LOT of the kids but you can get the main idea across effectively without all of the tech!
