Help students prepare for summer break with a fun, low-prep activity that gets everyone talking, laughing, and making new connections!
 
Classroom Connections: Summer Edition is a one-page printable game that encourages students to share their summer experiences and memories while discovering classmates who have similar interests. It's the perfect community-building activity for the last week of school, morning meetings, getting-to-know-you lessons, or anytime your class needs a positive boost.
 
How It Works
Students write three answers for each category on the worksheet. Then they take turns sharing their answers with the classroom,  placing a tally mark on their paper each time someone shares one of the same answers. The student with the most connections wins—but everyone leaves knowing their classmates a little better!
