There are only a few days left until the new school year, which means it's time to think over games for meeting new students. First impressions and well-built relationships are the key to further productive work ․ To do this, we have prepared a selection of games that will help the teacher and students get to know each other and create a friendly atmosphere ․
For kids
The train of names
Children are standing in a circle ․ The teacher comes up to any player and says։“I am the train. What’s your name? ” The player says his name, and the teacher repeats it ․ After giving his name, the player joins the "train". With each new participant, all players in turn repeat all the names ․ To make the game fun, you can ask the students to make a gesture when they say their name ․ For example.
1 ststudent: My name is Jane. (jump)
2nd student:Her name is Jane. (jump) My name is Sam. (claps hands once)
3 rdstudent:Her name is Jane. (jump) Your name is Sam. (claps hands once) My name is Kate. (claps hands twice)
At the end, the teacher repeats the names of his students, consolidating the information for himself too ․
Line up
Divide the class into 5-6 groups ․ The teacher acts ascaller. For example, he says։
Everyone, please, now line up in first name alphabet order ․
The groups begin to look for the correct order and after completion they shout“Done”.
Tasks can be varied for any reason, height, birthdays, etc.., for example Everyone please now line up according to your birthdays - first in the year goes first ․
Blanket
Participants are divided into two teams, located opposite each other. A blanket is stretched between them. From each team, one person comes up or sits closer to the blanket. As soon as the blanket is lowered, it is necessary to have time to pronounce the name of the one who is sitting opposite. Whoever called it faster takes the player to his team. The winner is the team that will "pull" more players, that is, the team that knows more names.
Sweet facts
Prepare bags of M & Ms or Skittles different color... Students, not seeing the color, pull out one candy and say a fact about themselves in accordance with the pulled out color.
Throwing a ball
Children stand in a circle, the teacher starts the game by throwing a ball to one of the students and at the same time asking a question։“What’s your name?”, “Do you have a brother or a sister?” etc. Whoever caught the ball must answer the question and then throw the ball to the other and ask their questions ․ It will be more interesting if you accelerate the pace of the game with each throw ․
You can also write several phrases on the ball in advance, for example, favorite color, game, or։your name / surname, your birthday date etc. Ask the students to stand in a circle and throw the ball to each other ․ The one who caught the ball should read the phrase on which the thumb is and respond to it ․
For teenagers
Snowball fight
Ask the students to write 3 facts about themselves on the pieces of paper (3 facts -3 pieces of paper) For example.
“I play football”, “I have a dog”, I have been to Italy ”and so on ․
Then “snowballs” are made from the leaves and the battle begins - students line up in two lines and throw snowballs at each other for a minute. When the teacher stops the battle, each student must unfold three pieces of paper, go around all the students, find the owners of these facts, and sign the names on the pieces of paper. This will help not only remember names, but also learn some facts or interests of students
Finding common ground
Divide the class into small groups (4-5 people), allow some time to interview each other and write a list of everything they have in common ․ Tell them to avoid writing the obvious. After the time runs out, ask each group how much in common they listed ․ The group that lists the most common wins ․
What's your name?
The rules of the game are simple: you need to say your name along with an adjective that begins with the same letter as the name ․ For example,
I am amazing Annie, I am strong Sam, I am clever Clay etc. ․
Never have i ever
Students sit in a circle and put their 10 fingers in front of them ․ One of them plays the host and, for example, says։“Never have I ever been on an airplane” or “Never have I ever worn pink” ․ If one of the participants did the named action, then he loses his life and must bend one finger ․ The game continues until someone has lost all 10 lives and exited ․
For adults
Bingo
If you know some information about the students, you can create interesting list facts about them, for example։play the guitar, always do the morning crossword etc. But if no information is available, you can use more general descriptions, eg:drink coffee in the morning, drive a car etc.
Create bingo cardswhere one of these descriptions is written on each square ․ Example card։

The beginning of a new academic year or semester, meeting a new group, or the first lesson with an old one after a long break are both exciting and frightening events. No matter how many years you have been teaching, feeling "butterflies in the stomach" before September 1 is a good and commendable thing, because it means only one thing - youDO care ☺.
Each meeting with a new group is preceded by a huge number of questions: what kind of students will be in my class, what are their interests, what do they like, why they learn English, and, of course, will they like me ?!
I am sure that any teacher wants to get on the same wavelength with the students in the first lesson, to win them over and make a good impression.
Atmosphere
1. Musicconnects people . Before class, create a welcoming atmosphere with… .music!
For students, meeting a new teacher is also stressful. To cross the threshold of an empty and quiet classroom in anticipation of a new, unfamiliar teacher (what if he turns out to be an evil and terrible gray wolf? :) reallynerve-racking... If, just before the lesson, you turn on pleasant, joyful, quiet music in English, this will help relieve tension and defuse the situation.☺
2. Transform your classroom. It would be great to decorate the audience with posters, catchy and inspiring quotes in English, funny pictures - in other words, anything that will be entertaining and useful for your students. Rest assured, they will be looking at and discussing these posters with great interest.
3. Smile and positive attitude. Remember to smile, be calm and relaxed. Today is the rare case when you don't need to introduce a new grammar and explain the difference between Present Perfect and Past Simple.
Just have fun and get to know your students ☺
The purpose of the first lesson
The main goal of any first lesson is to introduce the teacher to the group, to establish that very first contact, as well as to introduce students to each other.
When developing materials for lesson 1, keep the following points in mind:
- give up grammar exercises - leave the repetition of grammar for the next time;
- choose activities of a communicative nature, aimed at conversation, exchange of opinions, communication;
- alternate individual, group and pair assignments.
Lesson start
- Hello, my name is Nana and I will be your teacher this term. And what is your name?
- My name is ...
-Nice you meet you,…! How are you today?
-…
Walk up to each student, smile, greet him / her and ask his / her name, how are you. Give everyone at least a little attention☺
Nametags
Naturally, you will not be able to immediately remember who's name. So are your students. Therefore, ask your students to write their names on the cards you have prepared in advance.
Nametags you will be useful not only in order to remember who is who. It is a great tool for forming groups and pairs.
Ideas for 1st lesson in a new group
You and your students need to get to know each other better, right? I would like to make it interesting and creative, so catch the following tasks:
# 1. Acquaintance
Prepare sheets of paper with a star drawn in advance.
Ask your students to write their name in the center of the star. Everyone has itstar graduation students should write an interesting / unusual / funny fact about themselves.
Complete this task with your students - they will nice to know something about their teacher☺
If you are working with children, give them the task not to write, but to draw what they like (subject, hobby, etc.)
# 2. Tell us about yourself
Ask each student to write their own full name in English, then for each letter of your name, come up with a word that in some way characterizes him / her.
For example, my full name is Narine:
N - nice
A - apple (cause it´s my least favorite fruit)
R - runner (i am into running)
I - introvert
N - Nizhny Novgorod (my hometown)
E - English teacher
# 3. Get to know each other
Divide the class into pairs. To do this, place the cards with names in one place (for example, in a box), shuffle and pull 2 cards each without looking. The ones you pulled out will work together.
For a certain time, each couple will have to learn as much information as possible about each other (you can briefly outline the topics they can talk about). Then each student should introduce their partner to the new group.
# 4. Truth or lie
It's time to find out how your students spent summer vacation... For this task, you will need small pieces of paper with “truth” or “lie” written on them. Each student draws a piece of paper and briefly tells how he spent the summer - depending on what is written on the card, the student speaks either the truth or a fiction.
Others ask additional questions to guess if he / she is telling the truth or not.
# 5. Final part
I think that in the end it will be great if the students take the initiative into their own hands and take part in organizing their educational process.
To do this, divide the class into groups. For each group, highlight whatman paper, pencils, felt-tip pens, that is, everything that is needed for creativity. Ask them to come up with and write classroom rules ( for example: listen to others), their responsibilities ( for example: clean up the space after the class is over), set the goals that they would like to achieve ( by the end of this term I will ...). Then ask them to present their work, and then allocate a place of honor in the class for each work.
At the end of the lesson, be sure to thank your students for their activity, praise them, ask if they have any questions, etc. Don't forget to praise and reward yourself for a great first lesson - you deserve it! And after such a great start, I am sure that the whole academic year will be just as successful!
