10 MORE Ways to Wake-up Students in Class →

Here are two:

1. To make moving into groups quick and sufficient, have the students do what I call “baseball signs.” Using sign language, or facial/hand movements without speaking, the students figure out where their group is going to gather. Students love it, and it creates quicker transitions into groups.
2. Air-guitar spelling or vocabulary: Students pair up and practice spelling their words, or review vocabulary by spelling it in the air as the other guesses it. Once the word is guessed, the students end with a encore of air guitar! Click here for the lesson.
