Why am i writing ?
Im writing again in this nice community to speack about a very important step in delivering lessons at school .That's motivation , the step which comes well before the first step of presentation .
Attracting everyone’s attention
There are several different ways to attract students’ attention. Using a startling quote as an opening statement is a good idea to grab their attention from the start. A humorous statement will also have the same effect and should help your students relate to you.
While talking, you should make sure to frequently change the level and tone of your voice, which signals to your audience that it is time to pay attention to. Incorporating movement to your delivery by vividly gesturing can also help to attract attention, while props like a bell or whistle can be effective in very noisy teaching environments.
Attracting everyone’s attention might be very difficult. In the video below, the teacher is completely new to the class, and the pupils’ behavior is pretty challenging:
Impressing your new students
If you want to go a step further and impress your new students, you should try to create a friendly and inviting atmosphere in class. This could be done either by decorating the classroom with pictures that will engage the students and elicit insightful responses or by playing creative introduction games.
Using technology is another good way to impress your students. Multimedia will add richness to your lessons and teaching methods, appealing to younger generations and making them feel right at home in your classroom.
We all know how important personal interaction and tight bonds are in our lives. As much as this is true in family and friends circles, it is also crucial at work. Personal interaction is the foundation on which happiness and successful results are built and taking the time to use get to know each other games or ice breakers can be invaluable for any business or team.
To everyone, except the most eager & outgoing few, icebreakers are a necessary evil. They are supposed to dissolve awkwardness, but forced icebreaker games often make an event even more tense. It doesn’t have to be this way!

Purpose of Icebreakers
So how do you avoid creating a frustrating, patronizing ice breaker game that won’t make participants feel like they are wasting their time and why should you try?
The benefits of icebreakers far outweigh any negatives. They can take care of introductions in a much more fun way than just simply going around the room and stating what’s on your business card. They can make people remember names easier & help start conversations. When done right, icebreakers can quickly build a sense of community, set the tone for the upcoming session & give participants ownership of the learning ahead. They are also a great way for people to share their expectations, and for facilitators to introduce the topic of the day through the game. It helps participants to loosen up, understand each other more and enable better collaboration and networking. Last, but not least, it is a surefire way to energise the group and have everyone focused and ready to go.

Categories of Icebreaker Activities
Ice breaker activities will help you set the right tone for any occasion – from a simple lesson at school to a company retreat to conference workshop, from strategy session to new hire onboarding. These icebreakers don’t require people to reveal too much personal information too soon and allow room for introverts too.
The best ice breakers are tailored for a particular situation: ice breakers for meetings or team icebreakers often have a different design than workshop ice breakers and finding the right one for your purpose can help them be successful.
We’ve found these ice breakers incredibly useful & would love to hear about your experiences if you give any of them a try!
In order to help you find what you look for, we grouped them into the following categories:
• Ice breaker games to get to know each other
• Ice breaker games to kick off meetings
