Kick Me!! Activity • Rule #1 – Nobody gets kicked during this activity!!!
So what is it??? • Named for the “kick me” sign prank, there is NO kicking involved. • Students find answers to blanks on a worksheet by looking at the words that the teacher has put on students’ backs using labels. • This encourages movement in the lesson thus increasing focus, engagement, and retention of information.
The Rules: #1 Find the answers to your worksheet on the backs of your classmates. #2 When you have them all, sit on your desk so that others can still see your label. #3 There is no kicking in “kick me”.
