Icebreaker

Two fun, printable icebreakers which take inspiration from a desert island setting.

Students work together in groups to create a must-have survival kit list, choosing items from each other's bags.

As an alternative task, students can plan a wish list of five luxuries to enhance life on the island before discussing their ideas with others. 

Perfect for KS3-4 students. 

Example tasks from the downloadable resource: 

Imagine you are stranded on a desert island. What five things would you take with you to make life better? Choose your luxuries from the options below:

Favourite music (or instrument) to distract you.

Fictional character (from film, books or TV) to keep you company.

Luxury food item to sustain you.

Imagine you are stranded on a desert island. Working in groups/teams, select five items from your bags to create an essential survival kit list.
