2 Truths, 1 Lie: Ice-Breaker Activity

The document provides several icebreaker activities and assignments that a teacher could use at the beginning of the school year: 1) A "2 Truths and 1 Lie" game where students each share 2 true facts and 1 false fact about themselves for the class to guess which is the lie. 2) An assignment where younger students draw pictures and write a few sentences about what they did over the summer, while older students draw pictures and write a short story about their summer. 3) An icebreaker activity where students take turns answering questions while music plays and they try to find a seat, with the student left standing getting asked questions by the closest seated student.

2 Truths, 1 Lie
I play a game called 2 Truths and 1 Lie and have students tell the two most wildest facts about themselves and one
wild, but untrue fact, is among the three total. It is up to the class to guess which fact is untrue. I usually begin and
tell the class:

I water ski frequently.


I used to have pink hair.
I love the Jonas Brothers.

It's then up to them to choose which "fact" is really fiction!

What I Did Over the Summer...


I like to have the kids do a picture or story about what they did over the summer. The older ones must draw pictures
with their story and present it to the class. And the smaller ones must write two or three sentences with their
pictures. I will usually read them to the class or have an older one read it aloud. We are homeschooled.
Ice-breaker activity
This is a fun way to get to know your students a little bit, and works perfectly when your students know each other but
you are a stranger to them.
Materials: tape recorder, seats, guiding questions on the board
Level: all levels
Audience: teens and children
Time: 15-20 minutes
Description:
This activity is similar to the hot seat games, but in this case students do not leave the game when they cant find a chair
to sit on.
First, you need to write down some guiding questions on the board, like: where do you live? Where are you from? What
sport do you practice? Etc.
Second, explain the idea of the activity to your students, so that they are prepared to talk about themselves or their
families.
Third, organize the chairs (one less than the total number of students you have in class) in a row, or in a circle.
When you have all this ready, play some music and ask students to start walking around the classroom. When you pause
the music students need to find a chair and sit on it. The student who cant find a chair is the one who will have to
answer one of the guiding questions. The student who is closer to him gets to ask him the questions he wants. He can
choose one of the guiding questions or can come up with his own.
