 * COMMUNITY** **BUILDERS**

__Student Search__ Give each student a Student Search page. The goal is to fill in as many boxes with a signature from someone else in the class that meets the criteria of the box. Only one signature per person is allowed on each sheet (makes it harder!). Give students as much time as you feel necessary (maybe around 10 minutes)—not all students need to finish. Have students add up their points and see who earned the most!

__Flying Snowballs__ Have all the kids write 5 facts about themselves on a piece of paper and then crumple their paper into snowballs. At the start of the 30 seconds, everyone starts throwing their snowballs around the room. They continue to pick up and throw the snowballs for those 30 seconds. At the end of the 30 seconds, they have to find a snowball that is closest to them, find the person who has written it and introduce that person to the others.

__Birthday Line Plot__ Before activity begins, draw a large line plot with the months as labels. Give each student a post-it note and have them write their name on it. Have students “plot” their post-it above their birth month to create a class line plot. To add a challenge: Once the graph is made, have students order themselves based on their actual birthdays WITHOUT TALKING! (Let the students figure out how to do this…they may write things down, use hand gestures, etc…just no talking!)

__Two Facts and a Fib__ Give each student a notecard and have them write down two facts and one fib about themselves. Students will share their cards with the class and the class guesses which statement is the fib. (Could use this in classroom with content for review as well)
