Class Engagement

PreviousCurriculumNextTeaching Guidelines

Last updated 3 months ago

We provide additional tools that you can use to engage students more in your sessions! At ReDI, we like to use the following tools and icebreakers:

Mentimeter (Interactive Polls)

  • Create live polls, word clouds, and Q&A

  • Perfect for:

    • Icebreakers: Ask students about their expectations or background knowledge.

    • Quick polls: Check understanding of a topic in real-time.

    • Exit tickets: Gather feedback at the end of a session.

  • Login credentials in teachers' Slack channel

Kahoot (Learning Games)

  • Quiz-based learning with competitive elements

  • Perfect for Revision & Recaps - You create a quiz, and students participate live in class via browser or cell phone.

  • Login credentials in teachers' Slack channel

Icebreaker Ideas

You can use quick icebreakers at the start of your sessions to energize participants, build connections, and create an engaging and interactive learning environment. Here is a list of icebreakers. They shouldn't take more than 5 minutes to run.

1. Two Truths and a Lie

  • Description: Participants share three statements about themselves—two true and one false. The group has to guess which one is the lie.

  • How to Run: Use breakout rooms for smaller groups or let everyone participate in the main room.

  • Objective: Participants get to know each other in a fun way.

2. Virtual Scavenger Hunt

  • Description: Give participants a list of items to find in their home within 1-2 minutes (e.g., something red, something that makes noise).

  • How to Run: Ask them to bring the items back to the camera and share a quick story about one of them.

  • Objective: The activity is an energizer.

3. Emoji Reactions

  • Description: Pose a question or statement (e.g., "How are you feeling about today’s session?") and ask participants to respond using emojis only.

  • How to Run: Use the chat in Zoom.

  • Objective: It is an easy way for participants to share how they are doing.
