What educators are saying

This helped feel dead time on those first days while I am collecting paper work. It also let me get to know the students in a nonthreatening manner.
My fifth-graders loved the deserted island acitivy. Great activities to use at the start of a new school year with intermediate-grade students.

Learning Objective

Students will share information about themselves with their teachers and classmates.
