Hlahla Phantsi xa...
This is a nice ice breaker to allow your abafundi (learners) to get to know you and each other. Gather all your abafundi around in a circle. Ask them to stand then read through the list below. Each abafundi must hlala phantsi if they have done something on the list. The winner is the one still left standing.
List:
Hlala phantsi xa ucula eshaweni. (Sit down if you sing in the shower.)
Hlala phantsi xa uthanda iikati. (Sit down if you like cats.)
Hlala phantsi xa uhlala kakhulu. (Sit down if you sleep a lot.)
Hlala phantsi xa uqhuba isithuthuthu. (Sit down if you drive a motorcycle.)
Hlala phantsi xa uhamba esikolweni. (Sit down if you walk to school.)
Please feel free to change the list. It might be nice to create a list that revolves around your lesson theme, or you may encourage your learners to each create a statement of their own so that they are in control of what they learn about their class mates.
This ice breaker was adapted from an ice breaker found on Just by Christ where one can find many more fun activities to get to know your learners and make them comfortable with one another.
