BECOME MORE SOCIALLY AWARE.
Instructions
Ask each child to think of a true fact that they would like the class to know about themselves. It could be a personal statement about an ability, a dislike, a hobby, etc.
Have children get into pairs and introduce themselves by sharing their personal statements.
Instruct pairs to walk around the room together introducing their partners and responding to introductions from others.
For example: ‘This is Moira and she loves swimming.’ ‘Hello Moira, I’m Jan and this is Ryan. He is really good at drawing cartoons.’
Teacher Notes
For a creative variation, ask children to invent something amazing to say about their partner.
For example: ‘This is Moira, she just won the Olympic medal for swimming.’ This is a good warm up activity to start the day.
