Here are some tips to kickstart your Back-to-School intro lesson!

#1 Warm up with a ‘How do you feel?’ icebreaker

Lead your students in with letting them express how they feel, with the Text and Draw Slide App. Make it into a speech bubble to make it even more interactive! All their responses will be relayed to you in real-time.

Draw activity with two speech bubbles for a student and teacher portrait.


#2 Get them to take instant photos of themselves

Get them to take a photo of how they feel…on the spot! Use the Photo Slide App for this purpose, where students can also draw on the image before submitting it to you… again in real-time!

#3 Make an escape room

Liven up your class activity by creating an escape room with Deck.Toys! You can read more about it here: https://blog.deck.toys/basic-escape-room/


#4 Set the rules and make it fun while you do!

As part of your intro, you should set the standard norms that you are expecting from the class heading into the new term, whether it is on digital citizenship or with regards to online etiquette. Make it more interesting by turning these rules into mini-games with Deck.Toys! You can auto-magically convert them into these super fun Study Set Games.
