Default An Ice Breaker Every Day?

Hey, guys. . .

I've run up against a problem. I teach a group of adults at eight in the morning and they're pretty tired. I can understand that. In a regular counseling session ("What can I do better?"), they've said that they like it when the lessons begins with a 'game' or 'silly activity.'

And, of course, I've been trying to find new things to do each day. I can repeat a few classics, but, well. . . I'm running out of ideas. They aren't big on heave grammar right away, just a game to get them back into thinking in English. (If I ask them how the week was, they say 'Too much work. . .' They're game to laugh, but small talk isn't their strength.)

What kind of activities do you use in the classroom?
-Toby
