You walk down the corridors of the high school looking at all the new faces, with fear on your mind how the next four years will be. You certainly do not want to spend your precious time in a corner, all alone.
This is why making friends is really important, not only will they make school bearable but will also help you when you need them to. Everyone is new and just as scared as you are on the inside.
To break the communication barrier you need to have come with some good Icebreaker questions for high school students that will help build up a conversation, and if you are lucky you will find that they share the same interests as you.
Icebreaker activities can be held by seniors or teachers in the classroom to let the students get to know about each other and be comfortable with each other.
With the expectation of meeting a lot of new people like class fellows, seniors, staff you should have good conversation builder questions. These are called Icebreaker questions. Here is a list of ideas you can use to have a great first day at high school.
