Break the Ice With a ‘This Is Me’ Game

Kick off the school year with a fun and active movement game that helps little learners and new students feel comfortable and connected to each other from day one! The ‘This Is Me’ Game is designed to get students moving, laughing, and learning about one another in a low-pressure, engaging way. Perfect for early primary classrooms, our ‘This is Me’ Game combines social-emotional learning with physical movement to build classroom community.

You can use this game at the start of the year, after a long break, or anytime students need a fun reset to strengthen peer relationships and help everyone feel included.

This Is Me Task Cards & Movement Activity

This printable icebreaker includes a set of 24 “This Is Me” task cards that mix quick movement activities with simple personal prompts. The cards are designed with early learners in mind — featuring simple text, playful prompts, and easy actions for all students to follow. Each card presents:

• A snippet of information that may or may not apply to each student (e.g., “I have a pet at home” or “I like to draw”).
• A movement instruction that students perform if the statement applies to them (e.g., “Spin around if you like pizza!”).

Students begin by finding a space to move safely. As each card is read aloud, they respond by performing an action if the prompt is true for them or by staying still if it’s not. The result? A room full of giggles, discovery, and camaraderie!
