Classroom games are a great way to build relationships with kids and create student engagement.

But sometimes those games can be complicated, take a ton of prep, and can get chaotic.

What if I told you there was a SUPER simple game that is easy to implement, takes practically no time to prep, and creates connection rather than chaos.

Would you play that game with students?

In this week’s episode of the This Teacher Life podcast I breakdown a really fun and easy holiday game that can transform into a game show in the matter of seconds.

Not only that, it will create dynamic discussions and is a create way to celebrate differences, traditions, and trends.

I promise you will be SO Thankful for this classroom game!

How is life going for you right now?

Are you able to answer that question WITHOUT bringing up work or school related- topics?

Sometimes as teachers we have a difficult time separating personal and professional life.

And sometimes that means we need a reminder and a re-boot on balancing our priorities.

So, let me ask, how are you currently doing in the 8-pillars of life?

Not sure what those are, but know that you are needing something new, something different, and something real to get you out of a funk?

You are in the right place!

When was the last time you asked students questions like…

What do you really want teachers to know about you?

What would you say to your teachers if you knew they would listen without judgement?

What can I do in this classroom this year to help decrease your frustration and increase your engagement.

Yes, kids want things like snacks, snapchat, and to sleep in class.

But kids actually want WAY different things then that too and their results to these questions are surprisingly reasonable.

In this week’s episode of the This Teacher Life podcast I give you all the details of a transparent conversation I had with my students that totally worked.

It is easy to replicate and once you have the roadmap, I promise it will create positive momentum for the rest of the school year.
