Energizers! K-6
$ 29.70
Energizers are quick, whole-group activities that get students moving, breathing deeply, laughing, thinking, and working together.
Incorporating play throughout the school day helps students feel more connected to their peers and more comfortable participating in academics.
Energizers give students mental and physical breaks from rigorous academics, provide a fun way to transition between activities, help students refocus their attention, and create opportunities for students to connect with their teacher and each other.
Interruptions:
Read a passage or poem aloud while students listen carefully.
Boom Chicka Boom:
The leader says each line, and the group then repeats it, using the same intonation as the leader.
Possible voices to try: Boisterous, falsetto, growly, whisper, baby
A boom chicka boom!
I said a boom chicka boom!
