Say Hello with ‘Find Four’ – Fun Icebreaker Activities for Students

Kickstart your school year or group activity with ‘Find Four’, one of our fun, icebreaker activities for students to help them connect and learn about each other. This interactive activity uses a grid template where students explore shared interests, unique traits, and fun facts by finding four classmates who match each category.

Kids will move about the room, chatting about themselves,  signing names and interacting with their peers, while you can observe how quickly your classroom develops a sense of community. Can’t find four for every box? No problem – just have them find as many as possible and enjoy the process!

Perfect for the first day of school and beyond,  ‘Find Four’ is one of our quick ice breakers for kids to build connections and create lasting friendships from the very first day.
