This back to school "getting to know you" icebreaker activity is great for building student relationships and decorating your classroom! Using their favorite hobbies, feelings and books as inspiration, students will draw pictures to create a "coat of arms" that describes their personality and interests for others. Then use the included printable stone wall designs and decorated coats of arms to create a castle-themed bulletin board to display your students' work!
