This download includes 5 interactive icebreaker activities that will help educators get to know their students and build a strong relationship. Activities are centered around the theme of student sparks. Sparks were developed by the Search Institute, who explains them as follows:
“Sparks are the activities and interests that truly engage kids to be their best. Research shows that kids who know and develop their sparks—and who have adults in their lives to help—have higher grades, better school attendance, and a sense of purpose.”
We have successfully used student sparks throughout our STEM programs to cultivate a relationship with our students. We feel that students are more eager to share and connect with instructors as well as the other students. They are also the perfect tool for connecting to STEM careers. You can read more about this here.

Help students discover their personal spark and use it to develop relationships with each student and among the class.
