Triple Threat Snowball Fight – A Getting to Know You Game

Play this game with your class at the beginning of the year or anytime your class needs a break.

This game helps students to get to know each other. This game also helps the teacher to assess students’ sentence-writing skills, as students are required to write three sentences. Students then engage in a fun ‘snow ball fight’ by balling up the paper and tossing it at each other from across the room. It is a great way to get students up out of their seats!
