Hi Jerry, I wish you the best in your introduction of ice breakers. They are low stress, fun to do and gives students a chance to create a relationship with other students. By talking and laughing together the first class meeting they forget for a minute or two how nervous they are about being successful in the course. The nerves will pop up again but by that time they know some of the other students and little bit more about you the instructor so the isolation is not so strong and they start to see that they can be successful in the course.
