Favorite Words

Favorite Words is an individual, writing activity that can be used as an icebreaker.

Directions
Have each student write down on a scrap of paper what their favorite word is. Collect them, then read each word aloud, having the student that wrote the word state their name and explain why that word is their favorite. After this has been done, place the words somewhere visible (perhaps writing them on a whiteboard or easel) and have the students write a poem or story using at least 3 of the words. Share!
