Stand Up If
A fast, fun staff meeting icebreaker where teachers stand up if a statement applies to them.
Prophet Gaspard
A fast, whole-group icebreaker where the facilitator reads statements aloud and staff stand up if each one applies to them. It gets people moving, laughing, and learning something new about their colleagues in just a few minutes.
Why try it
This staff meeting icebreaker works well at the start of a PD session, back-to-school meeting, or any gathering where you want to warm up the room quickly. It surfaces shared experiences across grade levels and departments without putting anyone on the spot, and the energy it creates carries into the rest of the meeting.
