Day 5 (Grade 3)

GAME 1: Beach ball game

A classroom game to get to know each other
better. All you need for this first day of school
activity is a beach ball and a marker. Write down
several questions on the beach ball in a random
order.

Examples of questions:

 What are you most proud of?

 What’s the most heroic thing you did?
 What’s your favorite animal?
 What color is your toothbrush?
 I am thankful for _____
 What’s your favorite movie?
 What’s your favorite sport?
 How many siblings do you have?
 What’s your favorite dessert?
 What do you like to do after school?
 When’s your birthday?
 And so on.

Now form a circle and throw the beach ball to a

student. Wherever the student’s left thumb
lands, is the question he has to answer. After
answering that question, he can throw the ball to
another student.

ACTIVITY 1: Figure me out

You could let them create a profile of themselves,
describing some fun facts using arithmetics. Take
a look at the image below for an example.
Template is given.

GAME 2: Tall Thomas

Encourage students to think of an adjective to
describe themselves. The adjective must suit the
student and must also start with the first letter of
their name — for example, “Tall Thomas,” “Funny
Frankie,” or “Smart Sam.”

Have the class stand in a circle, and then have

one student state his or her new nickname. Then,
have the next student try to name the previous
name before saying their own name.
ACTIVITY 2: Class Bingo

Give the student a bingo card. Student need to

find a classmate who share the description. Once
the description matches, mark it with classmate’s
name. The student who marks in a row, wins.
