Helpful Back to School Activities for Teachers
The purpose of this post is to share with you a collection of some practical back to school activities to use with your students especially during the first week of school. For each of these activities I come up with web tools and apps that can help you best attain your teaching goals.
1- Time capsule
Get students to create individual time capsules where they outline their goals for the whole school year. Students can add images and other multimedia materials to their time capsules using tools such as Google Docs, Sheets, Pages, Book Creator, Word., among others. Collect finalized capsules from students and save them in a folder till the last day of school and reopen the folder and allow students to reflect on their goals.
2- Learn students names and pronounce them correctly
3- Classroom agreement
Another practical activity to do in the first day of school is to work with students to brainstorm ideas for a classroom agreement. I like the notion of classroom agreement instead of classroom rules as the earlier involves a participatory and student-centred approach.
4- Read a book
5- Back to school worksheets
This is a collection featuring a wide variety of printable back to school worksheets to use in your class. These worksheets offer tons of school ideas and activities from getting to know me activities to find a friend games, you will definitely not run short of ideas to employ during those first days of the new school year.
