Classroom Warm-Ups In a Jar

Select one of the short, easy, fun classroom activities from the jar to get things going in the morning or after a break. 101 cards.

Sample cards:

• "All students write down an interesting fact about themselves on a small slip of paper. Put the slips into a jar or hat and have everyone take turns pulling one out. Read the one you pull and guess who wrote it"
• "Have students design logos that represent themselves. Imagine they might go on a shirt, business card, or vehicle. Share the logos in pairs or with the class, explaining the meaning behind them"
• "Provide students with a vocabulary list or a word cloud prior to introducing a new unit. Ask them to write for five minutes what they think the unit will be about."
