Getting to Know You Activity

At the beginning of each semester (block schedule), the first thing I do after I introduce myself is pass around a bag of m & m's, telling each student to take as many as they want. After everyone has taken their m & m,s, they are instructed to count them. I then tell them that they have to tell us that many ( of the m & m's they counted ) things about themselves. For practical purposes, anything over 20 counts as 20. This is a fun way to get to know a new class.
