Never Have I Ever Educator Life
A staff meeting icebreaker school leaders can use in minutes.
Megan Rogers
A quick staff meeting icebreaker where everyone responds to "Never have I ever…" prompts about everyday school life. Staff put a finger down for every prompt that applies to them, trading quick laughs for a few minutes of easy connection.
Why try it
Spark quick laughter and remind staff they share the same small moments, from forgotten meeting emails to the daily hunt for a missing marker. It's a low-effort way to open a meeting with energy and a sense of "same here" across the team.
