Back to School Digital Activity - Would You Rather Get to Know You First Days

Start the year by building connections and easing students into discussion with this simple, engaging digital back to school activity built around classic would you rather questions. Designed for the first days of school, this low-pressure icebreaker has students work in pairs to talk through fun, thought-provoking choices while explaining their reasoning to a partner. The structure encourages conversation, active listening, and comfort speaking with classmates without putting students on the spot. As students share and compare answers to the would you rather questions, they naturally learn more about one another, helping to establish a positive classroom community right from the beginning.

This is a digital resource, and students complete all the work on the computer. This works well with distance learning, 1:1 classrooms, remote teaching, Google Classroom, or online education.

➡️ Would You Rather… Digital Assignment: Use this digital back to school activity during the first days of school to help students get to know one another through guided partner discussion.

Partners can circle or record each other’s responses directly on the sheet, keeping the activity interactive and collaborative.
