Warm-up: Oddity

Your teacher will lead you through this warm-up as a class. This warm-up is meant to help build community between you and your classmates by allowing you to get to know each other.

Directions

Think of one personal trait, talent, skill, or experience of yours that is uncommon. Write it on paper, fold it up, and put it into a hat (a bucket, basket, or box will work, too). Your name should not be on your paper, so no one knows who wrote it. A volunteer will take the answers and randomly read aloud the oddities, one at a time, while everyone tries to guess whose it is. (If there is a board where answers can be written for everyone to see, students can wait until all answers are presented to guess.) After everyone has guessed and revealed their oddity, vote on the wildest!

Guiding Questions

As a class or with a partner, answer the following questions:

Did anyone or any oddity surprise you?

Do you feel you know at least one person better after this warm-up?

Now that you know something more about each other, take a moment to consider your classmates, each as an individual. You will spend the next few months together! Help and encourage one another at every opportunity.
