Description
Every year I like to get to know my students better with some getting to know you questions. This getting to know you resource includes 60 questions and is perfect for both online or in person teaching.
GAME IDEA- If using in person, print out the cards and play hot potato. When the music stops, that student answers a question! If using online, use an online spinner and spin a number. Go to that # slide and ask their question.
Use online or offline. Available as Google Slides, PowerPoint or PDF or printable cards.

I used this in group online piano lessons as an icebreaker. I’m planning to split it up and use it over several weeks to build community during distance learning.

Love that idea, Faith! Thanks for sharing! 🙂

This was a great icebreaker for distance learning. We used these questions to practice muting and unmuting to answer. Thanks

I actually used this in class, as well as online – I projected the questions onto my TV screen and started out our classes with this activity. It was fun to get to know my students better, and they had fun learning about each other, too.
