The objective of this activity is to introduce students to science while fostering team collaboration and getting to know each other. Divide the group and give them the science-themed question cards, students will work together in groups to answer questions and share their responses, simultaneously introducing themselves to their peers and teacher. The resources include the power point presentation I follow on my first day of Science so that I set expectations for they year and an icebreaker activity. All resources are editable for you to add or remove items and customise it for your needs.

This is a collection of five impactful games fostering teamwork, creativity, and critical thinking among students. The top two favorites are: Psychiatrist: Sharpens communication and observation skills through engaging interactions and interpreting cues.
