High School Ice Breakers, Guess Who Wrote It Game, First Day Activity

$3.99

Nobody wants to go first, so let the paper talk instead. These high school ice breakers have students write one true thing and fold their name out of sight, then everyone scores by guessing who wrote it. No prep, no screen, no slides.

Perfect For

  • The first day, the first week, and any new roster
  • A class where nobody volunteers and nobody wants to stand up
  • Advisory, homeroom, sub days, and the last twenty minutes

How the Game Works

  1. Every student finishes a starter, then folds their name out of sight at the bottom
  2. Read a slip out. Everyone writes one name on their own detective sheet
  3. Unfold the name. Everyone who got it scores, and the writer scores for staying hidden

Why Teachers Love This Game

  • There is a right answer every round, and the folded name proves it
  • No teams, so the writer can never tip anyone off. All 30 students think every round
  • Two winners: Best Detective and Most Mysterious. The quiet students clean up

Description

What’s Included

  • 24 starter slips across 4 sheets, so nobody faces a blank page
  • A sheet of blank slips for students who would rather write their own
  • A teacher key for the writers and the show of hands
  • A detective sheet for every student, with the Mystery scoring printed on it
  • Teacher rules page, color and ink-saver black and white, US Letter and A4

Why the Starters Matter

A blank slip gets you blank slips back. Each one here begins a sentence, like “a skill of mine that never comes up at school is” or “the most useless fact I know is”, so every student has somewhere to start and the answers are worth guessing.

Made to Include Everyone

None of the starters ask about money, jobs, travel, family set-up, grades, or plans after school. At this age that matters more, not less, so every one has a low-stakes answer available.

Please Note

This is a print and cut resource. There are no slides and no editable file, so what you see in the preview is exactly what you print.

Works On

Any printer. No student devices or logins required.
