Day 5 (Grade 3)
GAME 1: Beach ball game
A classroom game to get to know each other
better. All you need for this first day of school
activity is a beach ball and a marker. Write down
several questions on the beach ball in a random
order.
Examples of questions:
What are you most proud of?
What’s the most heroic thing you did?
What’s your favorite animal?
What color is your toothbrush?
I am thankful for _____
What’s your favorite movie?
What’s your favorite sport?
How many siblings do you have?
What’s your favorite dessert?
What do you like to do after school?
When’s your birthday?
And so on.
Now form a circle and throw the beach ball to a
student. Wherever the student’s left thumb
lands, is the question he has to answer. After
answering that question, he can throw the ball to
another student.
ACTIVITY 1: Figure me out
You could let them create a profile of themselves,
describing some fun facts using arithmetics. Take
a look at the image below for an example.
Template is given.
GAME 2: Tall Thomas
Encourage students to think of an adjective to
describe themselves. The adjective must suit the
student and must also start with the first letter of
their name — for example, “Tall Thomas,” “Funny
Frankie,” or “Smart Sam.”
Have the class stand in a circle, and then have
one student state his or her new nickname. Then,
have the next student try to name the previous
name before saying their own name.
ACTIVITY 2: Class Bingo
Give the student a bingo card. Student need to
find a classmate who share the description. Once
the description matches, mark it with classmate’s
name. The student who marks in a row, wins.
