Ace BTS with these 5 clever classroom icebreakers
The simple smile
Whether you’re looking to snag a new BFF or your crush’s attention, this li’l move goes a long way. So flash a friendly grin to show you’re a super nice gal who’s ready to talk.
The classic note-pass
Try out this trick before class starts: scribble a cute joke or a quick hello onto a scrap of notebook paper. Pass it on to share a laugh, and ask a response from your new classroom pen pal. Just make sure free of mean vibes. And don’t do it past the first day, unless you wanna get a detention. Yikes!
The quick question
Next time your teacher’s lesson has you a little lost, ask your desk neighbor for some help. Instead of struggling solo, you’ll be back on track—and ready to break the ice with someone new.
The helpful offer
If you’ve got today’s session straight, look for someone who doesn’t. Find a confused face and let them know you’re here to help. Whether they accept or not, your offer will seem totally sweet, and they might come back to ask for help in the future.
The study sesh invite
Ask the shy new girl or the cutest guy in class to join you for some pre-quiz cramming at your place. Take some time to focus on the studying, and then grab a snack for some chill bonding time.
