Let me set the scene:

It’s almost time for lunch, you’ve just finished up your math lesson. Your students miraculously put away all their materials quickly, just as you asked (hey, a teacher can dream, right?).  You have 5 extra minutes before your students need to line up to head to the cafeteria.  Now what? 

You know that if you allow your students to just chat with their classmates for a few minutes, your students will likely take that inch you’ve given them and turn it into a mile (read: calmness is about to turn into chaos in about 2 seconds flat)

In these cases, it’s always good to have a few ready-to-go 5 minute fillers that can be pulled out in a moment’s notice.

Here are 5 constructive, no prep activities that you can do when you have 5 minutes to spare after a lesson, before a transition, or at the end of the day.
