Ice-breaking lesson

Well, here i am. Thinkig of a superb ice-breaking lesson for my future students. I want to have a different kind of ice-breaking lesson. Not just the normal one. the one where you ask your students to introduce themselves or write something about themselves. While pondering about this stuff (a critical thinking which i haven't done in about one and a half month) i am aware that first and foremost i should know the students' level. Well, it's not quite important tho, maybe i can find or create an ice-breaking session where all students can participate without considering their english proficiency level first. But how? An awesome ice-breaking lesson? How can i create the lesson without knowing the facilities there? hmm... i'm thinking of playing a song 'Getting to know you' and then continue with the..well, let's say...the normal introduction??

Ohhh...i'm soooo cannot think right now. I just don't have the motivation yet. How to increase my own motivation???? O Allah, please help me.

1) ask the kids to write a letter to u or a penpal telling about themselves.

2)ask the ss to find things that are commen among them. eg; bulan lahir, or hobby?

all the best mi!!

Jie: Thanks a lot! =)
There are millions of ideas on ice-breaking! Wow..

Sayda: i think that will be a good idea as well..write about things that are common among them. i heard that the students are not that proficient in english. So, this activity might be suitable for them. Thanks =)
