Getting to know you games for elementary special education teachers, counselors, and SLPs. Turn UNO, Jenga, and Candy Land into low-prep back-to-school activities your groups will actually want to play! These getting-to-know-you activities work as first-week icebreakers, morning meeting warm-ups, indoor recess, or filler time all year long.

Perfect for building classroom community, helping students open up, and giving YOU a window into their personalities, interests, and social skills, all while they think they're just playing a game.

What's included:

UNO Question Game — a printable Question Mat that turns each color into a question category, plus 4 ways to play for different pacing and comfort levels

Jenga Question Prompts — grab-and-go prompt sets for K–2 and grades 3–5, with 10 themed question sets each (Would You Rather, This or That, Finish the Thought, and more)

Candy Land Question Cards — color-matched question cards that print back-to-back and drop right into your existing game
