Saving Fred will be my Game for the whole school year That is a great game! Thank you for sharing 😊 Comment from : Maribel Andino Echevarria

Let me tell you Michelle, I was laughing so much when you were describing how to do these games! I can definitely use a few during the first week of school and use the rest after a few weeks Thank you for these ideas! Also, I wanted to tell you that I used the Word Work bins idea with my second-grade students this past school year It was a half-and-half situation Half of my class used the materials correctly while the other half did not This happened because they were not paying attention when I was explaining and demonstrating how to do each activity I even showed your video about the activities I am still going to use them though, but this coming year, I will have 3rd-5th grade and I know they will do better with them Comment from : Donelle Brown

I work in an after school program and these are so perfect for my kiddos! We have limited resources and using other teacher spaces where we cannot touch anything and cannot store anything Often I do know what space I will be in until the day of Also, I may have to combine group and I have kids that are not usually together But, I can always carry index cards and writing utensils in my back pack!

These are great! Thanks for sharing! Comment from : K D

The tissues of the societal system consist of arteries nourished by the blood of cohesion and cooperation, with the aim of keeping the body of the nation strong and cohesive against any penetration by haters and evildoers،in order for the body of societal cohesion to be able to repel the storms of diseases coming from the mouths of the prejudiced, it is necessary to crystallize human visions based on the principles of loyalty and stemming from the source of true sinceritybrHow can the real members of the culture be built to be a bulwark for the coming minds and to be placed in the corners of science to support the structure of the coming mind before the malevolent hammers of ignorance??brThe simple class must be subject to the following criteria:brbr1- Circulating books in all restaurants, cafes and all transportation breaksbr2- Literary participation by creating programs or meetings via the Internet and discussing issues of reason, logic, poetry, story, novel, cinema and literaturebrSetting up tents on the grass and providing them with loudspeakers in order to attract all segments of society to discuss the problems of students and familiesbrFocusing on the goal of building family bonds by spreading the moral culture and defining the legal human right of the strong and the weak before the hammer of public justicebrAnd most important of all is to go in the direction of doing everything that would benefit society and the mind without delaybrbrbrbrALI SUROOR Comment from : ALI SUROOR

Yay! Thank you for this collection of activities I teach MY and I think these would be perfect even with the older kids Comment from : Britt Stromberg

You are amazing! I love your videos! I am a middle school math teacher and a Google Certified Educator (Level 1) I appreciate all your distance learning videos and how to best organize Google Classroom, etc My challenge to you is how can we modify some of these ice breakers and team building activities in a digital environment? I know that Jamboard has a common space to collaborate, but I do not like how there is no way to track who posted what Any ideas? I will be on a look out for THAT video from you! :-) Thank you for sharing all your ideas! Comment from : Jill Weiss

This sounds like a variety of fun activities I will try a couple as space allows or play them at home with my own kiddos instead of them watching television or texting on their phones Thank you for sharing Comment from : Samantha Keller

Amazingly professional content! You must be a super teacher! 🦸‍♂️ Comment from : Sveta Puzyreva

i can remember doing the saving fred activity! hahaha Comment from : sera

When completing the activity, Saving Fred, do you have them do it in partners? What number of students has worked best? Comment from : Hangin’ With Hooper

Oh my gosh I loved this video! I’m moving down from 8th to 6th grade next year and I feel like the 6th graders will love some of these activities, especially saving Fred Thank you for also clarifying that community building should not be competitive We had one training on this before school started and were encouraged to incorporate it without any further help/guidance and I made the mistake of encouraging competition This only furthered the rift between certain students I have a much better understanding now and can’t wait to try it out next year with my new students Comment from : Allyson Crooks

Saving Fred is so cool! My students are gonna love it Thanks for sharing your ideas :D Comment from : Paula Rezende

I'm a college instructor and I really like Saving Fred Comment from : LaTasha | Movin Central Cali

Ahh i dont know why, but im obsessed with watching these vids even though im only 12 haha Comment from : wilbursootsimp_

Thanks for thoroughly explaining "Saving Fred" Comment from : Victoria Llaguno

Good work Comment from : SAUDI TANTONG

I’m 14 and we always did a get to know you thing in middle school the first week And it was always so boring because it was always the same so you had to continually say things over and over in every class Comment from : Tara Buescher

I loe your videos and your energy The district is being selfish You and Billy will be fine You are a force I just wish you taught a lower grade I teach 1st and would love fresh ideas Thank you!! Comment from : nadine savage

Can they stretch the gummy ring with the clips? Thx Comment from : DABS

Thank you sobmuch Comment from : Heba Emad

I am a teacher from Morocco Comment from : Karima Essatty

Several of these would have terrified shy me as a child I’m more outgoing now, but as a student, these would have made me not like the class or I’d think less of the teacher for pressuring me to talk in front of peoplebrbrShe can’t see that, because being meek and quiet isn’t her personality But I guarantee there are students in her classes that hate some of these games, and she has no clue Comment from : DottyGale8

I remember doing the blanket activity in camp Comment from : Pufflefuzz Kerman

I love the saving Fred idea Comment from : Addie H

Love it Great ideas Comment from : Judith Smith

Thank you! Really excited to try those next Tuesday! ;) Comment from : Doriane

Saving Fred is one of my favorites too! Thanks for sharing these A couple of them were new to me, even in year 26 of teaching Have a great school year! Comment from : Amie Tedeschi

when i work with kids at my summer camp we do a variant of two truths and a lie where the kids get into small groups of three or four, and the group has to find truths that apply to the whole group, and a lie for the group, which gives the kids a chance to get to know each other more personally than doing it individually Comment from : elizabeth orr

I love these ice breaker activities! Thank you for always sharing the best ideas! Comment from : Its Giving Mid

Can you do a how-to video for tpt? Not creating resources but uploading, copyright issues, what to charge, tips and such Comment from : MirandaJarvis
