M&M Icebreaker

Each student gets a baggie with 4 M&M´s. They then have to answer questions based on the colours of M&M´s in their bag. You can also give them a few more M&M´s so they can sample 2 or more first and then answer the questions. The students love the activity because they also get to eat candy!

Text layout

Check this Website where you can type in text and it will turn it into a shape! (Writing/Publishing center)

Slap The Bug

One student reads a word while two other students race to try to smack the bug with the corresponding word. Could do with math problems as well.
IN my version:I made it as a poster covering the bugs with scotch tap so I can write the vocabulary with a board marker and change it. I show the picture with the vocabulary to the class and in turns of two students they have to slap the bug! they really had fun!

today´s number

great idea, (not mine)
We start every lesson (1st year, secondary school) with this. while I copy the date, complete the attendance sheet, etc, one student writes the number and they do it.
