Ice Breakers and Seating Charts

The first day of seminary after going over expectations and class rules, I handed out a get-to-know you sheet that looked surprising like the one word tag I posted on my blog (Thank goodness for blogging). I made some age appropriate changes and I passed out the list of questions: 1. Where is your cell phone?, 2. Your Hair? 3. Your mother? and I added at the bottom 29. Your scripture study?, 30. Your alarm clock? and I asked the students to respond to the questions by only using one word. The responses were hilarious and it was a great way to get to know the students better. It was fun to do an ice breaker that made the kids think even at 6 in the morning.

I have 6 girls and 6 boys in my class and instead of assigning seats; I decided to allow my students to sit anywhere they want to sit as long as the pattern is boy-girl-boy-girl. It is entertaining to watch the seating shuffle. The girls usually arrived first so one by one the boys had to decide which girl they will sit next to. It is priceless. I really should not find it as funny as I do because when I go to single adult events, I actually have to participate in the shuffle. Somethings never change.
