 As an outsider coming into the classroom mostly in the middle of the school year i find important to have a number of methods and exercises to "break the ice" and get to know the kids.
+I have a photographic memory therefor it is important to me to see the names written somewhere. As a task i ask children to make a drawing or a collage of their favourite food on a piece of paper or paper plate using left overs from the candy wrappings. When they are done i photograph each of them in the way i could see the face and artwork with written name on it. Later at home i can go trough the pictures and memorise names by heart.
+At the end of trajectory i give these portraits to the kids. It is a great way to initiate a reflection about the whole process and activities done.

+Another way to get to know each other is to encourage children to associate them selfs with an object, animal or weather description. We sit in the circle and each of us has to introduce our selfs by saying name, talents and as what animal, veg or fruit you feel like today.
+I try to ask these questions at the beginning of each session every time introducing a new task. Such as "as what favourite dish you feel like today and what noice would it make if it would be alive" or "can you rime your feelings with something related to food? (ik ben blij als een spiegel ei). This exercise takes only a few minutes but it give me a sufficient information about the energy and general mood of every child.
