Not only do I go over the syllabus, course outcomes, policies, etc. I also try to do some sort of an icebreak just to loosen up the students and have a little fun at the same time. Things I've done are - 2 truths and a lie - where the student tells everyone 2 truths and one lie about themselves and everyone needs to try to figure out which one is the lie - scavenger hunt - where they have to go around talking to their classmates to find certain things such as (1) Someone who has a brother - (2) Someone who has never traveled outside our state, etc. I've also done things like ask a question to students to answer as they introduce themselves - if they could travel anywhere - where would they go and why. This tends to spark some discussion and get discussion going.
