Hi - first days are always a bit difficult but I found some good stuff online about ice-breakers from www.eslhq.com/forums/esl-forums/esl-games-activities/ice-breakers-first-class-3325/
They are not my own ideas but worked well....
1. get a big tube of sweets/ toilet roll and pass around the class asking students to take as much/many as they want. when they are done, they must give a piece of info for each sweet/ sheet they took.
2. On a plain piece of paper students write down 5 pieces of info about themselves (just answers). You can provide prompts on board if needed. Then they turn the paper into a paper plane and throw across the class room several times. Once this is done, get them to open the paper and then go round the class asking questions from the answers they have on the paper until they find and return the paper plane to the right person. - a good laugh!!

Hello in Brazil,
On my first day I often use the chart I had already prepared with some symbolic info about myself.... like for example some dates, things I like (drawings), and many things which the students have to guess on the first day.... then I tell them if their guesses were correct or not and following my example the students are to make something similar about themselves... then everybody guesses what their drawings, numbers and words can mean (I also participate in it). At the same time we have introduced to each other in a different way than just saying "I am interested in cycling" for example. I do recommend it to everyone who does not use it.
Have a good day
Alex
