A 17-syllable Icebreaker Can Reveal A Lot

Haiku training activity

In the beginning

I want to know my learners

Their Challenge: Haiku

 

I model the task

I’m not “too good” to do this

I write on flipchart

Haiku

 

My haiku reveals

I really like Mr. Sketch

And lifelong learning

 

Breaking the ice – smiles

Or sometimes they roll their eyes

But now I know them

 

Their expectations

Their subject matter knowledge

Three intriguing lines

 

Use this icebreaker

The next time you meet learners

What will they reveal?

 

Actually, don’t wait!

Leave a comment in haiku

What is your story?

 

You may also like 6-Word Memoir as a concise way to break the ice!
