Look at Me! is a meet-and-greet activity where students have the opportunity to personally meet every other student in the class. Students stand in a circle and upon making eye-contact with another, walk to the middle and proceed with formal introductions. This is a fast process, so be ready for the kids to be moving the whole duration of play.

This activity focuses on the benefits of knowing the people in your group and making real connections. It also helps break through the uneasiness that accompanies meeting new people.

In the following module you will learn how to properly set-up and facilitate the activity and then if you wish, move students through an academic and/or social skills development reflection experience.

*This activity has been adapted from the Ice Breakers & Openers CD-ROM of The Inspire! Youth Series from LearningChange, LLC.
