Subject: Re: First day of class activities
Each person in the groups that you make will have something in common with their partners. One example could be, groups divided up among winter birthdays, summer birthday, fall birthdays and spring birthdays. The groups members have to figure out what common element they share. They may find more than one (which would be great), but you could make it more difficult by telling them that they have to find THE common element that you pre-chose. You could do this more than once. Groups with different numbers would really intrigue them.
If you do not have enough factual knowledge at hand, send each of them a list of questions (somehow disguised with a purpose so they won't connect it with your activity once you begin) to get some extra information that would help you.
