By Mrs Bell The Crafty Counselor
These colorful, conversation evoking getting to know you question cards are perfect for your classroom, office, or small group. Get students talking and sharing with these engaging getting to know you question cards.
These cards will create hours of fun for your students. There are many ways to use these cards. Choose the way that works best for your students!
Included in Download:
Here’s How I Like to Play:
Place upside down in a pile (or spread out across a table). One at a time, students “fish” for a card, read their catch out loud and then answer the question written on the card. If they choose a Take the Bait Card (worm with no written question), they get to tell the group a fun fact about themselves.
For a twist, have students “fish” for a Creature Question Card and ask the person to their right to answer the question that is written. If they choose a Take the Bait Card with no written question, they get to make up and ask a question of their choice.
Enjoy getting to know your students better as you play and converse with these cute ocean-themed getting-to-know-you question cards.
