Get Interactive at Parents Evening

Learning Conferences are intended to be a 3-way exchange of information about each pupil from the teachers, parents and pupils' perspective. Pupils are encouraged to attend Learning Conferences as the conversation is centred around them, the learner.

Occasionally there is some anxiety shown by both parents and pupils when they attend, for a whole variety of reasons, although mostly through concern to ensure they ask the right questions and feel that they are being supportive to the learning of their child.

One brilliant way of breaking the ice is to be play a short game. Both parents and children found it very entertaining as parents tried to guess which self-portrait belonged to their son or daughter.

Not only that, but parents got a view of how well their child can draw.

After the parents have tried to guess the portrait, the reveal takes place to see if the name on piece of artwork is their child.

 

What other ice breakers have teachers used at Learning Conferences?
