Quick and Lively Classroom Activities
Book with CD-ROM

Meaningful Ways to Keep Kids Engaged During Transition Time, Downtime, or Anytime
Linda Nason McElherne, M.A. 
Quick and Lively Classroom Activities Book with CD-ROM

Make the most of every moment in the classroom. These brief, meaningful, enjoyable activities are perfect for 15- to 20-minute periods during the school day-advisory, homeroom, or between times too short to start something big and too long to waste. The 260 activities are grouped into 52 themes (one for each week of the year): My Special Talent, Celebrating Differences, Managing My Time, Setting Goals, Imagining My Future, Showing My Art and Soul, and more. Each includes an inspiring quotation, discussion questions, an affirmation, and resources. Start the day off right, cure the midday blahs, or end on a positive note. Includes 53 reproducible handout masters. The included CD-ROM is for PC and Macintosh. Previously titled Jump Starters.

    Using Quick and Lively Classroom Acitivites Book and CD-ROM

    "This book is so much fun! I use many of the activities with my high school students. They love the activities, which let them reminisce about when they were in grade school. For example, we used the Homing Pigeon acitivity for a semester goal setting assignment and students hung their pigeons from the ceiling of my room. When they come in every day they see their pigeon and remember, 'Oh yeah, my goal.' It is fun to see that creative side in them, We also made character stamps with the stamp activity, which was another activity they said took them back to grade school. Learning is fun with this book no matter what the age!" —Stefanie Cervantes Moore, Service Learning Assistant Coordinator, Floresville High School, Floresville, Texas
