"Teachers can use icebreakers within their classrooms to create a connected and


comfortable learning environment for their students. Icebreakers are necessary for a

successful classroom."

Igqirha lendlela - nguqongqothwane
Igqirha lendlela - nguqongqothwane
Ebeqabe' egqith' apha - uqongqothwane
Ebeqabe' egqith' apha - uqongqothwane
