Summary
It is essential to create positive relationships with all your students from day one and keep those relationships strong throughout the year. Contained within this document are strategies for getting to know your students and to strengthen your personal relationship and connection with all students. Some of these activities are used during the first few days of the school year, and some can be used throughout the year to continue to get to know your students.
Getting to Know Each Other Bingo
Each student receives a bingo board on next page. Board squares can be adjusted if needed (board is for high school students). Students then walk around the room and find a student that fits into each square. The student then signs that square. Students continue to walk around the room until they have a bingo or a completed board for a bonus.
Bonus: when a student finishes they yell at bingo. The game stops and this student must point out by name each student who signed their board. If student cannot do this, they are eliminated and game continues until next student has a bingo or completed board.

Facebook Template
Have students complete Facebook template about themselves on the first day of class. Prompt students to complete with their real, personal information and that these will be displayed so everyone can get to know each other in this class.
Teacher should also complete a template and share theirs with the students. Once completed, they should be collected. Take time to look through them so you get to know the students.
Completed sheets can be posted on a classroom bulletin board or put into a binder to create a classroom "Facebook Group."
Encourage all students to look at bulletin board in or in the binder to get to know their classmates better.

Morning Check In
Elementary School:
At the very beginning of the day have students sit in a circle (can stay at desks if space is an issue). Ask students how they are feeling today. Students raise their fingers 1-5. 1 is great, 2 is okay, 3 is fine, 4 is not good, and 5 is angry. Ask a few random students why they raised a certain finger. Note any students who raised a high number that you don't call on so you are able to talk to them one-on-one. Pick a random student to start and have them high five the student to their right and say "Good Morning" with the student's name. The next student then goes to their right, and this continues until all students have gone. If students are not sitting in a corner, can adjust to your needs.
Middle/ High School Adjustment:
At beginning of class have students raise a finger on how their day is going so far, not needed to sit them in a circle. Have students high-five or give each other a handshake and wish the next student a good class period of learning, or something else.

Random Questions
Students take turns rolling a dice and answering the question that the dice roll corresponds to. Questions can be adjusted for the time of the year (in September have questions about what they did over summer, in February have questions about winter favorites, etc). Can take time and have students do questions as a whole class or attach the dice roll to something within the class structure. If a student wants to go to the bathroom, they have to first roll the dice. Grab random students as they enter class and have them roll dice. If a student turns in homework late, etc. Teacher can also participate in questions with students, so students get to know the teacher.
Example questions: 1) What is one thing you are really good at outside of school? 2) What is your best subject in school? 3) What accomplishment in your life are you most proud of? 4) What do you want to be remembered for? 5) What are you best at in school or outside of school? 6) How do you feel when you are successful at something?
