Hello! This is Yuri Makada from the Hakusanroku office. At ICT, 24 new students have arrived and are beginning to settle into their new campus life. This time, I would like to write the icebreaker activities held on Tuesday, April 1st, 2025, after the entrance ceremony.

　 The first activity was a game called "Identity Crisis." Learning mentors handed out slips of paper to each student, with the name of another 1st and 2nd year student written on it. The mission was to find the person whose name was written on the paper. In addition, pieces of paper with students' names were also hidden under the chairs. At the end of the game, students had to find the chair with their own name written underneath and sit on it.
 As the game began, students introduced themselves to each other while searching for the person on their paper. It took some time to find one another, but once they found their name, they seemed really happy with big smiles and the atmosphere became lively and cheerful.
 It was also memorable to see students calling out to one another and then working together to find the chair with their own name on it.

 Next, a game called “In the Box” was held. The purpose of this was to find commonalities and hobbies among each other. First, students wrote their hobbies, hometowns, favorite foods, specialties, etc. on a piece of paper. The Learning Mentors then collected the papers and read out the contents one by one. If the students found something they had in common with what was read, they ran toward the center of the room.
 In the center of the room, there were two tape outlines in the shape of 2 boxes, with the rule that if they entered the outer box, they received one coin, and if they entered the inter box, they received two coins. The students wrote a variety of information, such as “I like reading books,” “I like penguins,” “I like ICT,” etc. When information such as “I'm from Norway” or “I'm from Indonesia” was shared, the students responded with applause, creating a warm and friendly atmosphere.
 At the end of the session, the three students with the highest number of coins were presented with snacks!
 Through the icebreakers, the students seemed to be able to get to know each other better.
