The third activity is a discussion card based on a cartoon, and the final activity is a quiz/questionnaire for students to reflect on how sexist (or not) they are.

Getting to know my tutor group / my class - Back to school / Induction day activity (Ice breaker)

Students wander around the classroom finding people who meet a series of requirements (e.g. “Find three people who hate Justin Bieber” or “Find one person who has more pets than you”). If used with a vertical tutor group you can instruct students to not talk to other students in the same year group. And with a year 7 class they can be told to avoid people in their year group.
