This two-page icebreaker gives students prompts to match against classmates, one name per box and no repeats, in two age-banded versions — Grades 2–5 with prompts such as has a pet, lost a tooth this year and speaks another language, and Grades 6–8 with prompts such as plays a musical instrument, has lived in another state or country and has a summer job or volunteers.
