Check out our fun templates to get you started.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t Would You Rather<\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t School Scavenger Hunt Activity | Blue & Green<\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t Social Contract | Yellow<\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t See these and more in the Kami Library.<\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t This blog includes a few party games for different age groups; enjoy!<\/p><\/div><\/div> <\/p><\/div> <\/p><\/div> <\/p> For five and six-year-olds who are new to sitting still, it\u2019s a good idea to keep games simple. Games that get them moving around and burning energy are usually the best choice.<\/p> <\/p><\/div> <\/p><\/div> <\/p> Middle schoolers still have energy but can cope with more challenging games, so these games are a mix of movement and thinking.<\/p> <\/p><\/div> <\/p><\/div> <\/p> You can be a little more creative with icebreaker activities for older kids. Teens might be reluctant to share information for the first time, so it helps if you start by answering these yourself as an example.<\/p> <\/p><\/div> <\/p><\/div> <\/p> Feel free to let the students in your class fill in the fab printable All About Me sheet<\/a> from the Kami Library. These sheets are a great reminder of a child\u2019s favorite things and some of the things they do outside of school. You can then put them on the classroom walls for the first few weeks. For high school students, you might want to ask them more general questions<\/a> that allow them to answer more descriptively. For younger children, break out the crayons and construction paper and get them to draw their favorite things, or try the Emoji Summer Vacation<\/a> printable.<\/p><\/div><\/div> <\/p><\/div> <\/p><\/div> <\/p> This is just a taste of all the great games and topics that we have in the Kami Library. If you take a moment to browse through it, you\u2019ll be sure to find something that helps you and your students break the ice. So, have a great first week back at school, superheroes!<\/p> Looking for more free, ready-to-use templates?
