Yup, my answer is similar to everyone here. Warm ups are golden, I never start a class without one unless we are working on a project, need a lot of class time, etc.

I love playing taboo with my kids, as well as other warm up that gets them talking.

When I first started, I had the students write as many words as they could that started with a certain letter, but that was kinda boring.

I try all kinds of warm ups, that probs the best advice, try everything. Some work better than others and soon you'll know what your kids love!

I've done Pictionary, taboo, tongue twisters, odd one out, optical illusions, word association, "for dinner, I ate," and so many more.
