Description: Each student uses a Post-it® Note to write 5 interesting facts about himself or herself. They then post it to the board, randomly. I select the notes and see if I can match the note to the student. I then make up 4 Post-it® Notes about me, 3 with facts that are false or only partly true and one that is completely true. They then have to guess which is correct. Great ice breaker activity!

Estimated Time: 10-20 minutes
Description: One of the hardest things to teach is how to take notes! Kids always want to put way too much information - especially when they're listening in teacher-led discussions. My trick? For a short activity, I provide the information in a 10 minute lecture - but the kids can only write on one side of a 4x4 Post-it®! We then post the post-its up on a giant post-it and discuss what information was important, what wasn't, and what they should be writing in a lecture!
