With a new school year in the US, UK and across the Northern Hemisphere, I thought I'd share some crowd-sourced ideas and activities to connect with new students.

Here are 28 Activities and Ideas for Teachers to Get to Know Your New Students.

#backtoschool #megathread 🧵↓ #1 - Coat of Arms 
Students create a coat of arms or shield design that best represents them. Draw images or symbols that show:

🛡 Favourite subjects
🛡 Sports
🛡 Hobbies
🛡 Family
🛡 Places
🛡 Something they are good at

Use each child's shield in a class display.
