Getting to know you (sample)

A selection of activities to help tutor groups or classes get to know each other. The full version of this resource has 32 different activities on both power point and word document
The power point has five different groups of activities:
Sorting activities – getting children moving and engaging with each other;

‘Find someone who ‘ – needs the children talk to each other. They have to find someone who can do a particular task or who likes something particular or who has (done) something.

Discussion points - a set of questions to get small groups talking about issues (we have tried to avoid any controversial topics)

Dilemmas – a different type of question for groups to discuss their response to certain situation (again we have tried to avoid any controversial topics)

Miscellaneous – a selection of 10 challenges including ‘think outside the box, number association and ‘tell the time’

The word document with the full resource contains the same activities- with sheets to fill in for the ‘Find someone who…’ challenges.

The new 2022 version also has some visual challenges to provide a different opportunity for group work (‘spot the differences’ and ‘what is it?’)
