Introduction to Growth Mindset

We can never get enough good activities for the classroom environment.

When you meet a new class for the first time, it is important to make a good first impression. This activity is designed to break up the atmosphere a bit, and include the students.

Activity 1: Students get to guess your age (Icebreaker)

Activity 2: Students get to say what they think is important about a teacher

Activity 3: Students can ask you questions.
Here it might be a good idea to use the moderator function ;)

Try it out to create a good class environment and a good start to the year!

Goal: Let the students get to know the diversity in the class and create a better class environment

Here, all the students get to share a fun fact about themselves and vote for the one they want to hear more about. In this way, everyone gets to share their own fun fact.

Share a fun fact about yourself

A good classroom environment is something that must be worked on continuously throughout the school year. It is crucial to ensure that everyone is well and that the class has a good learning environment.

This activity is designed so that it is your students who come up with suggestions on how they can improve their own classroom environment.

Classroom environment

Good class rules are an important foundation for a good classroom environment and learning environment. This is important at all grade levels, and helps students know what they can expect from each other and from you as a teacher.

It is important that everyone in the class feels ownership and commitment to the class rules. The best way to achieve this is to have your students create the class rules (with guidance from you as the teacher of course).

This activity is designed so that students first get to reflect on why class rules might be a good idea. They must then reflect on what is important to them in the classroom before they together make proposals for class rules. 

The class gets to vote on the rules that are important to them, and the results can be used as a starting point to determine the final class rules. 

A tip could be to write the class rules on a poster that can be hung in the classroom.

This is a short check-in to see what the class thinks about the classroom environment right now. Discuss the results in class and let the students make suggestions for improvements.

Do it once a month and see if the suggestions for improvement actually lead to the class improving.
