Today I'm going to talk about my top five ESL first-day activities. So you all know the first day of any class that you're teaching can be quite stressful. You don't know the students, and the students don't know you but here are some of my best ideas to kind of overcome that and to help break the ice. The first one is ball toss. This is great for a smaller class so get a beach ball and then in permanent marker, write a whole bunch of kind of get-to-know-you questions on the ball. Then you toss the ball from student to student and when they catch the ball, wherever their right thumb is, that's the question that they have to answer. Super simple but it's a fun game to play. The next one is find someone who bingo. So this is just like kind of a regular bingo thing but students fill in their cards with things that they might ask their classmates to get to know them. Like, who has a pet, who's 21 years old, who grew up in Vancouver, etc. So you can have a list of possible choices and students can fill it out. Or you can get students, advanced-level students, to make up their own cards. Then they circulate around the class, talking to their classmates and trying to get one line or the whole grid or however you want to play it. The next one is the toilet paper game. So bring in a roll of toilet paper or some candies, wrapped candies are also fine. And then tell students they can take a certain number. They can take, I usually say between four and six pieces of toilet paper and then I put students into small groups of three or four and they have to say one fact about themselves to their group. And then they throw away one piece of toilet paper, or they can eat one of their candies or save it for later if they don't want it then. Of course, put it in their backpack or whatever. Then the people listening, one person can ask a follow-up question based on what they heard and then they also can get rid of one of their candies or pieces of toilet paper. The next one is the name game. So this is a really simple one for absolute beginners. it's like a memory circle game. So the first person says, my name is Jackie and I like cats. The second person says, my name is Ted and I like pizza. Her name is Jackie and she likes cats. Continue on and usually, I'll do it so the teacher goes last so it's a bit challenging. So pay attention! The last one is an introduction survey. This is really good for more advanced level students and this is often what I did in my university classes in South Korea. I make up a survey with a bunch of common questions that I think some students but not all the students will say yes to. So for example, has a brother, who is in his or her second year, grew up in a certain neighbourhood, has gone skydiving, etc. Students have to circulate around the class, finding people who will answer yes to each question once they find that person they ask a follow-up question and then they write the name of the person and then a little bit about the follow-up. For example, do you have a brother? Yes, I do. So they could write Jackie. Then their follow-up question might be, What's your brother's name? His name is Keith. They could write Keith in the blank. So that's it for my ESL first-day activities.
