Paideia Seminars: These are wonderful seminars that you can use for beginning or ending a unit of study. The students enjoy the open-ended discussions and the ability to speak in an academic language without the normal rigid structure they are used to.
Logic Puzzles: These work great for transition times between lessons, daily warm-ups, or end-of-the-day brain teasers. Students enjoy working together to try to find a creative solution.
Theater Games: Trying to get your students to think outside the box or find creative solutions to problems? Try warming up with these fun theater games. Also works great for beginning of the year team-building and trust-building activities.
