Excitation!

Surprise! (Scatter!)

Suspense! We're going to do this really cool thing next time. Looking at the clock... "Do I have time to tell you about it? Oh...shoot...  That reminds me of a story. Don't let me forget!

Spark! Let's go outside and practice! Let it snow! Fun way to pass out papers. "Mrs. Lukow...guess what!" Jelly beans if you eat your peas! Accents! Use whatcha got. Let's see if we can sing it like this! Sing standing on one foot. I have an ulterior motive for this! Laying down. Eyes closed. Humming. Quiet. Sleepy. Musical Marines. Woodland fairies. That's so good I have to video you! Change of state. Turn. Turn. Turn. Turn. I can hear different voices. Who IS that out there that sounds so good?!? Do it again so I can find out! (How do I get them from lying down? Discussion from e-mail list.)

Sweet Smell of Success! (Body Spray) Sooooooooooooo fun! I do this often with my 6th graders!

Brain Breaks from Minds in Bloom. Move your body. Move your mind.

W.O.W. = Word Of the Week. / W.O.D. = Word Of the Day / W.O.R.D. = Word Of the Rockin' Day! / W.O.M. = Word Of the Moment! This would be funny to sing every time you wanted to make a point. Ha Ha Ha!

Picture-ades! A combination of Pictionary and Charades. (Favorite!) Let's play!

What do Pike's Peak, the US Army and Spam have in common? Think outside the box!! Find out here! Sometimes you just have to go see the duck or chase a bicycle down the driveway!
