This is a great first day of school activity. Students think they are playing a game ---- but really you are TRAINING them!
This Powerpoint leads you through 8 rounds of the ice breaker game - Four Corners. A question is posed and then based on a student's answer, they go stand in a particular corner of the room. The 4 choices fly around in an animated slide to show students which corner is which answer.
This would be great training in following directions and not calling out answers.
The 8 questions I used are:
1. How many of these do you like to eat?
* pictures of broccoli, peas, and green peppers
Choices: all, 2, 1, none
2. What is your favorite season?
Choices: summer, winter, spring, fall
3. What state would you most like to visit?
*outline map with 4 states highlighted that students can name
*picture from each of the 4 states for students to name
choices: California, Colorado, Hawaii, Alaska
4. Which is your favorite main subject?
Choices: math, science, language arts, math
5. How many other people live in your home?
Choices: 1or2, 3, 4, 5+
6. What continent would you most like to visit?
* 3 pictures from each continent for them to name
Choices: Asia, Australia, Africa, Europe
7. What did you eat for breakfast?
Choices: pancakes or waffles, eggs, something else, nothing
8. Which would be hardest to live without?
Choices: ipod, TV, video game, cell phone
You can delete the questions you don't want to use or split the activity into 2 days with 4 questions each day.
You can shorten the activity by eliminating the slides of pictures for the states & the continents.
You could have corners discuss why they selected that option & share out to the whole group.
This is a good training for class transitions! You are given instructions, THINK, and then ACT when told.
If you think you'd like this activity PLEASE download & try the preview first! It is the first 4 slides of the powerpoint. Make sure the animations work for you & it looks good. I made this with the Mac version of Powerpoint and used a lot of path animation that might not look right with older versions of powerpoint.
If you DO want this, but the preview looks screwy......post in the questions & ask if I'll rework it on a PC......and I WILL. =)

This is such a great way to start off the school year. I play it randomly throughout the year just to remind them that they all share different likes and dislikes.

I've actually used this with my own 11th & 12th graders! LOL It was the very end of the year when it was really difficult to get everyone excited about anything.

I'm not able to download this. Is there something wrong with the file?

I don't think so. I've sold many of those over the past year.
I can email it directly to you if you give me your email. You can post it as a "question" so I can delete it (I can't delete comments). Or email me at l.tarman@gmail.com.
I am on vacation. I might not get it out right away....but definitely before the end of the day. (Alaska time!)

TEACHING EXPERIENCE
I teach Conceptual, Academic, Honors, and AP Physics, but I have a lot of other products in my store since I am always helping other teachers. My non-physics products mostly target a single math standard or skill. I attend a lot of national conferences (AAPT, NSTA, NCMT, & NECC), do multiweek summer programs, and am a reader for the AP Physics B Exam.
