3-Minute Motivators will show you how to turn unmotivated, unfocused students into eager classroom participants and learners. This practical handbook includes more than 100 simple ideas that will refocus a group, release excess energy, or start off class with a bang. Organized around common classroom challenges, 3-Minute Motivators offers a wide variety of ready-to-use activities that turn potential problems into opportunities, and get students out of a rut and into a more productive mode: - Calm Down—relaxing activities that let imaginations soar, including Collecting Clouds and the Silent Scream
- Get Moving—lively motivators, from the Big Yawn to Number Shakes
- Act, Don't Speak—silent but fun, from Balancing Act to As the Circle Turns
- Words and Movement—activities that mix talk with action, including Explosion, Mad Milling, and Kodak Moments
- Single Words and Sounds—the simplest communication, from Interactive Words to Chant-along
- Conversation—getting motivated one-on-one, from Song Speak and Slow-Mo to Think Talk
- Brainstorm—working together to let the ideas fly, from Word Tennis to Break-up
- Paper and pencil activities that range from Letter Scrambles and 4-word Lottos to Written Rumors and Shared-pen Stories.
This book is an ideal resource for both new and experienced teachers, promoting inherently playful activities that involve competition, cooperation, and opportunities to focus on real learning.
