Engaging ESL Icebreaker - The Detective 

This engaging ESL icebreaker is one of my favorites to do on the first day of a new language class. If you're teaching a language, this is great for B1 and above.
Everyone loves a murder mystery. What better way to start your class than to have your students become detectives and solve a crime. Check out the video to learn all of the methodology and steps needed to pull the icebreaker off, along with some methodological/psychological insights on why the activity works so well.
Use this on the first day of any kind of classroom! I've had great results!
This icebreaker requires some music, wallets filled with interesting business cards, a detective outfit, and a dead body (not a real one :) )
Thanks for watching
