In this video, I demonstrate how to play a simple and fun drama ice-breaker to engage your students and teach shapes, letters, and numbers

How to kickstart your very first English lesson with kids?

Try drama ice-breakers!

Here's why they make a great first approach to teaching:

👉 No textbooks needed! Drama ice-breakers are pressure-free and don't require initial reading or writing skills.

👉 Get them moving and excited! These activities involve physical movement, making the lesson start interactive and engaging.

👉 Foster connections and create a positive and inclusive atmosphere. Drama ice-breakers help children bond and freely express themselves.

Here's an example of an easy drama ice-breaker to play in your first lesson called "Body Shapes":

Draw a shape on the board and instruct your students to form the shape as a team using their bodies.

Encourage them not to talk but instead work silently as a group, cooperating in unison.

Give them a 10-second countdown to complete the shape, letter or number and congratulate them on their great effort!

This ice-breaker focuses on listening, concentration, and teamwork.

Give it a try!
