Looking for an beginning of the year activity that will help your students get to know each other? Interested in building a positive classroom community? Need to learn your new students� names while getting a glimpse at how they will work together this year? Want to have some fun along with your students?
My �Find-A-Friend� game will help you accomplish all of these goals. Students are encouraged to move amongst each other, asking and answering questions. In the process, they become familiar with each other, learn one another�s names, and have a chance to identify shared interests. This is an excellent activity for the first day of school and could even be continued throughout the first week. The �Find-A-Friend� Game is a team building exercise your students will enjoy, and so will you!
Cute!

Help
I am interested in find a Friend Game. How many different questionnaires are there in the set?
August 30, 2010
There is only one questionnaire. It consists of 30 questions which can be run on the front and back of one 8.5 x 11 piece of paper. By purchasing the game you have permission to run one set of questionnairres for your classroom - i.e., if you have 25 kids, you may run 25 copies of the form. If another teacher is interested in using the game, I ask that they purchase their own copy. Please refer them back to the TpT website - I hope this answers your question.
