Ice Breakers for the First Day of Elementary School

The first few minutes of a new school year can be awkward and nerve-wracking for both you and your new students. Looking around the room you wonder, "Who exactly are these people?"

These are some of my favorite Ice Breaker activities that I enjoy using with my new elementary school students each August. The activities are fun and easy. Best of all, they elevate the mood and help thaw out the first day of school jitters.
