Ice-Breaker: Fall Table Talk Cards
Ice-Breaker: Fall Table Talk Cards
Materials:
- Approximately 10-12 index cards with questions affixed (see examples attached, though also feel free to create your own!) per group (Have approximately 7-8 sets!)
- Ziploc bag to hold index cards
Instructions:
- Students will be broken into groups of four in addition to their mentor.
- The first student in the group chooses a card from the pile and they answer first
- The next student in the group answers the same questions, then the next, etc.
- When that question has been answered by all, another student chooses a card with a different question
- Repeat previous process until all the questions have been answered or your time is up!
**Remember to help guide the students who may not understand the question or who may struggle coming up with an answer – Mentors, you answer the questions too, if you are able! The kids love this! Also, if a student prefers to pass on this, that’s okay!
