🏃‍♀️ Get Moving with this Back-to-School Four Corners Icebreaker Game

We all know the importance of getting kids moving! Many back-to-school activities involve students sitting at a desk. That’s why we have created this fun, engaging, and active Four Corners Icebreaker activity for the first day of school. In this Google Slides Four Corners Icebreaker Game, students will be shown a question and four different options (for the four corners of the room). Each time a new question is shown, students need to move to the corner of the room that suits them best! 

A Variety of Four Corners Get to Know You Questions

This resource includes a variety of fun Four Corners Get To Know You Questions…such as…

  • What is your favorite subject?
  • What is your favorite season?
  • What is your favorite food?
  • What are you most scared of?
  • and more!

The beauty of this 4 corners get to know you game is that hardly any preparation is needed. Just download the Google Slide or PowerPoint option and have it ready on your screen when your students need to get up and moving on the first day of school!
