"Top 5" Bracket Challenge
A March Madness-style debate game with 8 ready brackets, blank templates, and a 60-second timer.
Icebreaker · Any grade · $2
The first week sets the tone for the whole year. These are the icebreakers and templates I actually run with teenagers: quick to prep, low-pressure for shy students, and fun enough that kids talk about them at lunch.
Pair a get-to-know-you activity with the Meet the Teacher and Classroom Rules templates, and your first two days are planned.
