Announcements
Everyone writes their first and last names on a name tag. Pair up with someone you do not know well. Partner A tells
Partner B as much about themselves as they can in 1 minute, and vice versa.
When time is up, partners switch name tags and find a new partner. This time, they introduce themselves as the person whose name tag they have (their previous partner).
Again, each partner gets 1 minute to talk. When time is up, switch name tags and find a new partner
again. Repeat 2-4 times total, as time allows. At the end, students use the name tag they are currently holding
to introduce that person to the entire group—telling as much information about that person as can be remembered.
Name Switching!
Today we will practice our locker combinations
and find our locker assignments. 7th and 8th graders are encouraged to help 6th
graders open and find their lockers if needed. When it comes to lockers:
Be Safe Be Respectful Be Responsible

• Attendance• I Like People Who… activity• Go over pages in handbook
For this activity, you will need 1 less chair for sitting than you
have students. The object of the game is to find a chair and not be the odd
one standing up. The student without a chair says, “My name is ______, and I Like People Who…” and finishes by stating something that’s true about them. Examples: I like people who have 2 sisters. I like people who
cheer for the Vikings. I like people who play soccer. Everyone in chairs who fits that description must get up and
find a new seat. Whoever does not find a new seat is the odd one out and it starts over again.
If students can’t think of anything to say, they may say, “I like everyone!” and everyone must find a new seat.
I Like People Who…
