Here are some fun activities that can be done in the Financial Literacy classroom as Ice Breakers to start the year: Tell Me What This Means - group project that students can work through together to figure out financial messages; Sure Fire Ice Breakers- a big variety; Would You Rather- fun way to start the year and get to know your students; Fin Lit Bingo- allows students to get to know each other; Truth About Millionaires- this could be a fun way to get the students discussing wealth, myths and open up the class with each other; Draw the Logos- students could have fun drawing these logos from memory.
