What kids do
Printed on the sheet:

- Ask your partner each question. Write their answer.
- My partner’s answer
- What is your favorite food?
- What is your favorite color?
- Do you have a pet? What kind?

Teacher tip
Pair kids who don’t know each other well, and let them share one fun fact with the class.
How to use it
- Pair kids with someone they don’t usually work with.
- Practice friendly phrases out loud before kids write them.
- Model your own answer first. Kids open up more when the grown-up goes first.
Watch for
Kids who are often left out. Use these sheets to build in partners on purpose.
Talk about it
- How do you join a game that has already started?
- Have you ever been in a moment like this? What happened?
Take it further
