#### Icebreakers On MyACG there are a number of warmer and icebreaker activities in the Tutor Lounge section - if you don't have access to this area, your HOF can add you to it. Activities: *Introduce someone else* - Pair the students up randomly, give them 5 minutes to talk to each other, and have them introduce each other to the class in narrative form. *A few of my favourite things* - Circulate blank sheets of A4 paper and pens. Give students 5 minutes to write down five of their favourite things and a one sentence reason. Make at least three of these specific to the course content, for example: website, browser, mobile app, ice cream flavour, place to go on a first date. - Gather the papers in and read them out to the class. Students try to match the list to class members.
