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 Four Corners 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. Four Corners Icebreaker

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?

• 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?

2. Four Corners Mini Debate Activity

This Four Corners Mini Debate Activity is a great no-prep activity that you can use any time of year for a fun, engaging activity that your students will LOVE!

Students will love moving around the room as you click through the 35 debatable topics - mostly controversial, but some are silly as well! This is perfect for middle school/high school, but teachers are encouraged to preview the statements and skip over any which you feel are too controversial for your student population. (I definitely stayed away from the most controversial topics).

►You will love this well-organized activity that allows students to voice their opinions, defend their positions, and even learn something new!

►The printable Reflection Sheet will allow them to reflect on the ideas presented, and asks them to discuss two issues that they may have changed their stance on after the debate and the reasons why. This is an activity I use in my classroom every year and I know your students will love it!

INCLUDED WITH YOUR PURCHASE:

• 35 Statements (Google Slides)

• Includes a Blank Editable Slide

• 5 Printable Classroom Signs

• Student Reflection Sheet

STUDENT GUIDELINES FOR USING THIS RESOURCE:

►If you agree with the statement, move to the side of the room labeled “Agree” or “strongly agree.” If you disagree, move to the side of the room labeled, “Disagree” or “strongly disagree.” If you’re not sure how you feel about the topic yet, move to the side of the room labeled, “Undecided.” (I typically have "undecided" students stand in the middle and hang the other posters in the four corners of the room.)

***Students should be prepared to defend their position even if they’re undecided.

Students then complete a chronological timeline activity and engage in deeper analysis through group discussion and a critical thinking task that connects historical movements to current civil rights issues. A brief review quiz wraps up the session to reinforce learning.

The included student worksheet features a variety of activities—guided notes, a timeline sort, a written reflection, and a quiz—with an answer key provided for easy assessment. This lesson not only builds historical understanding but also encourages students to think critically about ongoing struggles for justice and equality in modern society.

A Fun Semi-Silent Carousel Activity & PowerPoints to Engage Your Students!

This is an engaging President's Day or world government activity on world leaders for geography, civic, and other social studies classrooms. Students get involved in the learning process and will learn about 15 presidents & leaders (past & present) around the world to understand the place. This can be used as an introductory before or wrap-up lesson following a World Governments unit.
