Here are some activities that take up an entire class period.
1. ACTIVITY CHECKLIST:
Students in groups of three or four (one checklist per group).
It was easier to allow them to choose groups so that everyone was more inclined to do
their part.
All students must have an activity complete in order for teacher to initial.
Great for getting them to complete "busy work"
I always had a board activity involved with this and some cutting/gluing into spiral
Activity checklists are great when you have a bunch of stuff you need them to do that they might not be so excited about. Very little teacher prep required and they can get so much done in one class. I always took as a quiz grade. No grading required, just checked signatures.
2. FIND SOMEONE WHO...:
There are many different ways this can be set up for your class. Here are some examples that worked for us.
A great way to introduce the idea is as a beginning of the year "Get to know you" activity. Then the kids are used to doing it and it is a smooth transition into content material.
