Advisory Corners

Designate four corners in the classroom 1-4. Explain to students you are going to read four statements, then ask them to move to the corner of the room that is closest to the student’s preference. (Note: Halfway between two corners is acceptable - but let them discover this option on their own.) Added twist: Tell each student to focus on another student who they don’t know. After going through the list, find out how many things people have in common with each other.

Corner 1: Those who have never been to Legoland
Corner 2: Those who have been to Legoland more than 3 times

Corner 1: Those whose favorite fun thing to do is to go to a movie
Corner 2: Those whose favorite fun thing to do is go shopping

Round 4 
Corner 1: Those who like football

Corner 3: Those who like any other sport           Corner 4: Those who don’t care about sports *You can adapt the statements to apply to your students' interests. You may also write the statements on a big piece of paper and have the students hold the paper while you take a picture so you're able to remember their choices.
