Earlier this week I shared directions for an icebreaker activity in which students complete the sentence, “where I’d like to go…” with a picture of themselves in front of a place they’d like to visit. That’s a great activity, but it’s not necessarily a quick activity. If you’re looking for a quick icebreaker activity, having a random icebreaker question appear on the screen in the front of your classroom is one way to go.
Flippity provides templates for creating all kinds of neat things with Google Sheets including a random name selector. I modified it a bit to create a random icebreaker question generator. The process for making that random question generator is demonstrated in this short video.
