Meet Your Classmates

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is a social and interactive activity titled “Meet Your Classmates,” designed to facilitate engagement and connection among students. The page header provides a space for students to write their name, making the activity personalized. The activity’s purpose is to encourage students to mingle and learn interesting facts about their peers. They are instructed to find a classmate who matches each description listed and write that person’s name on the line next to the corresponding statement. The challenge is to try not to use the same person twice, which pushes students to talk to multiple classmates.

The worksheet is organized in two columns with diverse prompts that range from pop culture references to personal preferences and experiences, such as “Has never seen Harry Potter,” “Plays a musical instrument,” or “Has been overseas.” There’s also a mix of prompts related to family life, such as “Has more than one dog” and “Has a sister.” This variety ensures that students have the opportunity to discover a wide range of facts about one another. Additionally, the worksheet prompts students to circle any description they find that matches more than one person, adding an extra layer of interaction. This scavenger hunt is an excellent tool for team building and helps to create an inclusive classroom environment where students can appreciate the diversity of their peers’ backgrounds and interests.
