Activities:
- Introduction Bingo: Students receive bingo cards with different pieces of information (e.g., “likes to play sports,” “has a pet”). They must introduce themselves to others and find classmates who match each item on their card.
- Role-Play Introductions: In pairs, students practice introducing themselves in different scenarios, such as meeting a new classmate or attending a job interview.
- Interactive Name Tags: Each student creates a digital name tag with their introduction. They can decorate it with images or icons representing their hobbies and interests. The class will then “meet” each other by viewing these tags.
