Icebreaker: Teacher Telepathy

How it Works

Each table picks a word card, and everyone secretly writes a word to complete the prompt. The goal is to match exactly one other person’s word; points are earned based on how many people match, and the game continues until all cards are used, with the highest scorer at each table celebrated!

What included

40 school-themed word cards, 16 generic word cards, directions for the school leader, and directions for staff.
