My son recently introduced me to “starter pack memes” which I had to look up! He had to create one for a college “get to know you” activity and once I knew what it was, I thought it would make a great, fun and interactive activity. So, below you will find my starter pack meme ideas for topics that can be used in a variety of different content areas along with instructions for creating.
Set
- Explain the starter pack meme concept to students.
- Starter packs memes are digital collages made up of photos, GIFs, text clips, screenshots, colors, and/or quotes that highlight certain objects, characteristics, or actions of a particular person. Starter pack memes are great for bringing a class together since it’s a fun and engaging way to relate or learn more about each other.
- Decide the digital medium you will use to have your students create their starter pack.
Materials
- iPads or Laptop
- Starter Pack Meme Creator App–optional
- Google Slides or Canva
Activities
- Go over the instructions, rubric and show examples if desired. Give students time to create.
- For an introductory activity, I ask students to keep their names OFF of their starter pack meme as I like to print them off, number them and create a gallery walk. In the gallery walk, students have to guess who the starter pack meme is representing. It’s a fun, engaging way to learn more about each other. In the end, we go over their guesses/starter pack memes and then I hang them for display around my classroom or in the hallway outside my door.

- High school starter pack
