It is the beginning a new year and for many of us that means . . . fun Catholic ice breakers!

There is a lot that goes into staring the new school year off right. It is an important time for you to share your vision for the year. You want to get your students excited to be in your class and excited to come back again next time.

At the same time, you want to get to know new student names as quick as possible. What better way to do that than with fun ice breaker games?

Whether you are in a Catholic school, parish religious education classroom, or even a youth group, ice breakers can be a great way to get to know students’ names help them feel comfortable with a new group of people.
