Welcome to Greek Mythology!

ABC ICE BREAKER

• For each letter, write a word that describes yourself OR something that you did this past summer

ABC ICE BREAKER

• With someone at your island of desks, trade ABC sheets.
• Initiate conversation based on the words:
• Student A: "I see that you wrote 'Poodles', do you like Poodles?"
• Student B: "Not after this summer! I had to watch a dozen of them. #OodlesOfPoodles"

Switch speakers!

• Go through at least 3 of the letters
• At the signal, go meet someone from another island!
• Repeat the process with the ABC guide

Introduce your colleague!

• Now, introduce the person you just met to the other person you met at your table.
• Use the ABC sheet as little as possible!

Woo!
