I do use ice breakers for my first class, and I briefly go through the syllabus. I try not to focus too much of my time.... because I really need to get to my lecture or I will be behind with no catch-up time because there is so much material and so little time. I do like the idea of making the syllabus creative with colors and different fonts. One of my stressors is the late assignments because the student's excuses are unbelievable.
