Triple Threat Snowball Fight - A Getting to Know You Game
A game to play at the beginning of the year for students to get to know each other.
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!
