Things to do with a year 7 class on the first day back?

REIDmylips · 27/08/2007 09:24

i will be a year 7 form tutor for the first time in a while when we go back in Sept. I will be with them for the entire day on the first day back. We have timetables to do etc, but istruggle to fill in the time tbh.

I was just wondering whether anyone had any suggestions/ideas of 'getting to know you' games/activities i could do with them?

Thank you in advance.

If you're my dd's tutor - look after her. Ignore all other children - devote yourself exclusively to my dd. She is, of course the most intelligent, talented, sensitive, caring witty, delightful empathetic child in your form, so you won't wnat to pay any attention to anyone else. Make sure she doesn't get lost, that the big girls aren't horrible to her, she can find the loo and the dining hall and that she gets home safely as soon as possible......I don't think I'm being unreasonable.......

hasn't your year leader given you a big pack of stuff to do?!

I was a Year 7 tutor for 3 years and we always had plenty to do!

Important to get to know them a bit though so I would do some name games, put them in pairs and then 4s to talk about hopes ands fears for their new school? Stuff like that
