Who's In Your Circles
- Students will draw 3 concentric circles...there should be a nice sized gap between each circle (enough to write in).
- In the center of their circle, students will place a topic like...their favorite food/subject/hobby/ect.
- In the next circle, they will write LOVE, and the third circle will get labeled LIKE. The space outside of the third circle gets labeled DON'T LIKE.
- Students will go around to everyones circles and places their name inside the circle of how they feel (LIKE/LOVE/DO'T LIKE) about that topic.
Such a fun way to get to see who has the same likes as you! Check out the blog where I found this below:

Teach Like A Pirate
Figure Me Out
Find Someone Who...
Try this "Find Someone Who..." google slides. Students have to find classmates who fit the descriptions on each slide...take their picture and add it to that slide (with their name).

Classroom Quest
Check out this Classroom Quest! Your students are split into groups...when a new "quest" is given, ONE person from the team must bring the item or action to the teacher.
The first team to meet the quest gets 3 points...the second team gets 2 points and all other teams get 1 point once they complete the quest.
Check out the blog where this idea was posted HERE.

Prioritizing Tasks/Time
To be able to prioritize, you have to know what your goals are. When you have no goals, you cannot prioritize your todo list.
Check out the resource below and read about how to prioritize your to-do list using a quadrant chart.

Coordinate Battleship
Google Slides is a great tool to use for a gaming environment. Games provide context for student learning and are a fun way to practice.
This Coordinate Battleship game is a prime example of what I am talking about. Check out the blog I found on this and also the document you can make a copy of to use for your own classroom!
