Looking for fun digital resources, like games, brain breaks and activities for your early finishers that aren't lame? Well, you found the right place...this classroom game bundle will get your students excited to be in school, create relationships, and get students talking and connected! Great for any time of year or as a back-to-school get-to-know-you activity! Students are always nervous on the first day and playing games like 4 Corners and Would You Rather is a fun, stress-free way for them to get to know their classmates, while sharing similarities about themselves!

►Use them as engaging class activities throughout the year! It's the perfect icebreaker for middle and high school!

WHAT'S INCLUDED....

1. Would You Rather

A fun whole class activity with questions that align with student interests and are the perfect mix of silly, funny, trending, gaming & social media-related topics. No prep is needed! Whether you call it "Would You Rather" or "This or That," the prompts make a great conversation starter that kids love, and they will be begging you for more!

⭐I like to use these slides for a quick brain break. I use about 10 slides at a time!

• 100 Would You Rather Slides (Now in Google Slides!)

Note: If your district does not allow you to add to your Google Drive, or you would prefer a PDF version of this activity, simply send me a message here with your email address through the Q&A and I will email it to you after you have purchased the resource.

Ideas for using these questions:

• In centers
• During transitions
• For brain breaks
• Extra time filler
• At the end of the day
• During morning meeting
• To facilitate respectful discussion or debate
• To build critical thinking skills
• To practice communicating ideas
• To defend thoughts and opinions
• For a fun activity!!!

2. Four Corners

Use this fun whole class activity to get your students up and out of their seats and making connections! You will find a few typical all about me questions, but the majority of the slides are geared toward the interests of teenagers, leaning into social media, musical artists, food, fashion and more! You definitely won't see overused questions like "what's your favorite color?" or "How many siblings do you have?" You'll see instant engagement as students realize this isn't another boring classroom game.

Simply print the included labels for each corner of your classroom and project one of the questions. Read it aloud, then students should move to the corner that corresponds with their answer choices. You'll quickly see that students will start opening up as they relax and feel confident to defend their choices.

INCLUDED WITH YOUR PURCHASE:

• 50 Questions (Google Slides)

• Includes a Blank Editable Slide

• 4 Printable Classroom Labels

The presentation includes 50 get-to-know-you questions. For example...

• Who do you think would win the rap battle?
• Which music artist do you think has the best live performances?
• If you could collaborate with any fashion brand, which would it be?
• What's your favorite way to spend time online?
• If you could switch lives with any celebrity for a day, who would it be?
• Which fast food restaurant would you want to eat at for the rest of your life?

HOW TO USE IT:

• first day of school get-to-know-you activity
• icebreaker
• brain breaks
• morning meeting
• teach respecting differences

This resource features a rigorous, fun, and extremely informative escape room for one of the most celebrated playwrights of all time, William Shakespeare. It is the perfect way to introduce, re-introduce, or review the Bard with your students in an engaging and meaningful way.

There is no wonder why escape rooms are so popular; they are highly engaging and encourage people to work together and think creatively in order to solve different puzzles... all while trying to beat the clock! This meticulously-crafted resource features all of the materials you need to conduct a full-length Shakespearean Escape Room. Planning an escape room may seem like quite the daunting task, but this product provides everything from the basics and set-up instructions to signs and answer keys so that yours runs smoothly from start to finish. The activity involves movement, energy, creative thinking and most of all, collaboration. Your students will be having so much fun that they won’t even realize the massive amount of knowledge they will gain about Shakespeare while playing this game!

How does it work?

In order to escape from Elizabethan England and return to the present day, your students must escape your classroom by solving 6 different puzzles, discovering a hidden message, and finding clues along the way.

• Shakespeare FAQs: In the first task, students must complete a crossword puzzle with questions about Shakespeare. Once complete, they must unscramble circled boxes to reveal the first code.
• The Globe: In the second task, students must correctly identify components of the Globe Theater. Shaded boxes within the correct answers will reveal the second code.
• Name That Play: In the third task, students must match fictional newspaper headlines with the Shakespearean play they represent. This task is in the form of a mat puzzle and the code is revealed when students have matched all plays correctly.
• My Mistress' Eyes: In the fourth task, students must analyze one of Shakespeare’s most famous sonnets, My Mistress’ Eyes are Nothing like the Sun. The letters of the multiple choice questions about the sonnet will form the fourth code.
• Jig Saw Quote: In the fifth task, students must assemble a jig saw puzzle with a quote from one of Shakespeare’s plays.
• Putting it all Together: The final task brings the first 5 tasks together. Students will learn that each of the codes represent an aspect of one of Shakespeare’s plays. The name of the play is the key to escape Elizabethan England and return to the present day!

It is therefore highly recommended that computers or tablets are available for student use.**

Get ready to have the most fun you'll have teaching with a lesson that your students will be talking about for years to come with Paolo Coehlo's The Alchemist ESCAPE ROOM!

There is no wonder why escape rooms are so popular; they are highly engaging and encourage people to work together and think creatively in order to solve different puzzles... all while trying to beat the clock! This meticulously-crafted resource features all of the materials you need to conduct a full-length Escape Room for The Alchemist by Paolo Coehlo.

Your students will be having so much fun that they won’t even realize the higher order thinking skills they are applying in the playing of this game!

How does it work?

Instead of entering your classroom today, your students have arrived in the middle of the Sahara Desert where they have been captured by a band of Arabian soldiers. The soldiers demand their money and their lives and offer your students two options: turn themselves into the wind OR complete this escape room to display their knowledge of the novel, The Alchemist.

• Guess Who: In the first task, students must match each character from The Alchemist with their description by drawing a line connecting them. Letters not intersected by these lines will form their first code word.
• Plot it Out: In the second task, students must order the major plot points of The Alchemist on Freytag's Pyramid. When ordered correctly, letters in the shaded boxes on the chart form their second code.
• Quote Me On It: In the third task, students must match notable quotes from the novel with the universal lessons they teach. When cards are matched correctly, the third code is revealed.
• Criss-Cross: In the fourth task, students must complete a crossword puzzle about major plot points, characters, setting, and quotes from the novel. Circled letters within the crossword, once unscrambled, reveal the code.
• Missing Word: In the final task, students must assemble a jig saw puzzle that forms a notable quote from the novel with one missing word. Once the puzzle is assembled and students figure out the missing word, they may escape the room.... otherwise they must embark on the task of turning themselves into wind!

Planning an escape room may seem like quite the daunting task, but this product provides everything from the basics and set-up instructions to signs and answer keys so that yours runs smoothly from start to finish. The activity involves movement, energy, creative thinking and most of all, collaboration. All tasks are skills-based so that with the escape room, learning is not sacrificed; in fact, your students will come away with a stronger understanding of poetic terms and devices. Your students will be having so much fun that they won’t even realize the higher order thinking skills they are applying (and the number of poems they have analyzed) in the playing of this game!

How does it work?

The ghosts of Walt Whitman, Edgar Allan Poe, Langston Hughes, William Shakespeare, and Maya Angelou have risen from the grave to lock your students inside your classroom. They are upset because they believe that students spend too much time talking about (fill in the blank with whatever is hip with students these days) and not enough time reading and writing poetry. Students cannot escape until they complete 5 poetry-based tasks to show these ghosts of poets past that they do in fact know their poetry.

• Match 'Em Up: In the first task, students must match up poetic terms and devices with their definitions. Letters intersected by the lines between the terms and definitions will reveal their first code.
• Figuratively Speaking: In the second task, students must correctly identify the figurative language used in poem excerpts. When matched correctly, shaded boxes reveal their second code.
• Television: In the third task, students must closely read the poem, Television, by Roald Dahl. Then, they must correctly identify poetic terms and devices within the poem. When matched correctly on a chart, the third code is revealed.
• Playground Blues: In the fourth task, students must perform a close reading of Back in the Playground Blues by Adrian Mitchell. Letters of the multiple choice CCSS-aligned question answers following the poem reveal their fourth code.
• Jig Saw Quote: In the final task, students must assemble a jig saw puzzle that forms a quote about poetry. Once the puzzle is assembled and students bring the quote to you, they may escape the room.
