Ideas for ice-breaking

Here I would like to share some ice-breaking ideas for your classroom use. I like to start off a session with a short ice-breaker.

1. Doodling exercise - this is good for secondary school students
Ask the class to draw a mountain, a sun, a house, a coconut tree, a river, some rocks and a snake. Do not entertain any questions about their drawings. Just allow them to draw before moving on to a new item.
You are going to interpret their doodling. For example, if the mountains are of the same peak, they know where they are heading. If the sun is bright and shiny, they are very outgoing. If the sun hides behind the mountain, they are very shy. If the house has many windows and details, then they are kind of complicated. If the coconut tree is near the house, then they are quite contented. If the rocks are in the river, they have many problems. If the snake is near the house, then they are not afraid to have close relationships with the opposite sex. The list goes on depending on how you want to interpret it.

Try this and let me know the response of your students.
