Socially distanced 'getting to know you' activities

[Dilbertian]

I teach Y5&6 in a non-school environment (like a parents' mother tongue language school for children of expats and immigrants). At the beginning of the year I play getting-to-know-you activities that involve the children and me moving around, asking each other questions, exchanging things, eating things. Obviously these are now all inappropriate in a socially distanced classroom.

I'm stuck for substitute activities. Help, please?

I teach MFL and am trying to come up with new ideas, too. It’s tough!

You could still do your grouping games, but instead of moving around they just stand up if they like strawberries (or whatever) and then say hi to their other strawberry loving friends. It all seems a bit naff, but I suppose that’s the “new normal”.

Like a revised Simon Says. Good idea.

I'm thinking I might give them a sentence (laminated, so it can be sani-wiped) cut up in pieces, not tell them the full phrase, but have them stand up and read out their word when they think it is their place in the sentence. I need to explain this better!
