Question of the Day for Primary School Children

Help your pupils build relationships with each other and promote an overall sense of community in the classroom with this resource! This slide deck contains a full year of daily morning starter activities, one for each day of the school year!

When ideating this resource, our teacher friends adamantly agreed that an entire year’s worth of morning starter activities would be an excellent addition to their teacher toolkit. We took that advice to heart and created a fantastic social-emotional slide deck!

We didn’t come up with 20 ideas, 50 ideas, or even 105 morning activity ideas. We put our teacher brains to work and created 180 different morning activity ideas and discussion prompts, enough for the whole school year!
