#96: 3 classroom games that are fun, easy, and can be used at a pinch to channel that end-of-year energy!!

  • Summary

  • Are you feeling the strain of the end-of-year chaos in the classroom?

    “My students are apathetic and completely checked out!”
    “Chattiness, off-task behaviours, and disruptions are at an all-time high!”
    “Some behaviour has majorly escalated!”

    Sound familiar? You’re not alone.

    The combination of tired students, tired teachers, heightened excitement, and a lack of routine can wreak havoc on behaviour. But with a little prep (and a few no-prep strategies), you can channel that energy effectively—and get to the end of the year... dare I say, not just surviving, but thriving!!

    IN THIS EPISODE, I DISCUSS:

    • Why this time of year is so challenging: Understanding the factors behind the end-of-year chaos.
    • Three go-to games you can use in a pinch to upregulate or downregulate student energy, all while keeping the classroom fun and functional.
    • How to lean into the festive energy: Tips for embracing the chaos while controlling what you can control.


    Grab the brain break bundle: 6 games (600+ questions) to use each and every day to channel energy, build rapport, boost engagement, and encourage a positive, connected, class community.
