“Welcome everyone! We’re going to have a great school year! Let’s play a game to help us all get acquainted.”
Hi and welcome back to Attentionology for K – 5 Teachers!
A great way to gear up at the start of a new school year or term is to plan catchy and fun activities to help students get acquainted with their new class “team.”
Children who are new not only to your class, but also to your school, will especially appreciate the “welcome wagon” of fun.
Choose what you like from this selection of easy-to-implement activities. All are adaptable to K – 5 kids.
