Bring the beauty of autumn into your classroom while helping students build friendships and classroom community!
 
Classroom Connections: Fall Edition is a fun, low-prep icebreaker activity that gets students talking, listening, and discovering what they have in common. With engaging fall-themed categories, students will share favorite autumn traditions, foods, outdoor activities, and seasonal memories while connecting with classmates in a meaningful way.
 
Perfect for September, October, and early November, this one-page printable is an easy way to strengthen classroom relationships and encourage positive conversations.
 
How It Works
Students write three answers for each fall-themed category. Then they take turns reading their answers with the classroom, talking with classmates and placing a tally mark each time someone shares one of the same answers. The student who makes the most connections wins—but everyone leaves with new conversations, new friendships, and a stronger sense of belonging.
