Get to Know Your Students - Would You Rather

This is mostly goofy stuff, to get your students laughing and to break the ice, and they might get to know each other! Silly questions can help make students feel LESS silly, since there are only 2 options and everyone will pick one. They won't at least feel like the only silly one.

The idea is to display this on a big screen and have students raise their hands with each response. You might need to read it once, have them think, then say each option separately a second time. No need to keep tally, but you could make a bar chart or make tallies for fun if you want!

This could be a good chance for you to also observe your students: who is engaging? Who seems more shy? Who speaks every time they raise their hand? Who seems too cool to participate? And so on.
