About this item

Ten classroom games for the first days of school with grades 6 to 12. Each one runs 5 to 10 minutes, and five of them need nothing at all; the rest use paper, pens, a container or your course outline. None of them ask a student to share anything about home, family, money or how they feel. The set has an anonymous would-you-rather, a quiz-the-teacher template with [PLACEHOLDERS] for facts about you, and lineups by name or opinion. No lineup sorts students by age, birthday or height. Every game lists the time, group size, materials and steps, with a keep-it-safe note on who could feel singled out and two or three variations. Any student can pass, and the file opens with the words to say so. You get a Word document to edit, a PDF to read and a Markdown file for notes apps. Personal licence.
