Foam Frisbees
place
order
Foam frisbees are an effective tool in the classroom. Safe, engaging,
and motivating, they are used to reward participation, to select
respondents, and simply as an energy outlet during “brain breaks.” They
are available in an assortment of colors.
"My kids love the foam frisbees
and they're a great incentive for responsible behavior! Thanks!"
Emilie Nottle, San Francisco
"Foam frisbees work so well in my
6 th grade classroom. It gives them a brain break that they look
forward to. When I hold a frisbee in my hand the class says ‘Yea!
Brain break time!' Just 2 minutes and they are ready to settle
down and work."
Linda Carta, El Monte, CA
“[Using the foam frisbee,]
Student participation skyrocketed! I was able to wait for the
majority of the class to raise their hands instead of waiting
for two or three. Students were excited to answer formatting
questions! Everyone was paying attention, waiting to answer a
question. I also realized that using the frisbee helped me slow
down the lesson, and it added a light-heartedness to a review
lesson.
Thank you for the great ideas!"

Energy Balls
place order 
Energy
balls conduct the bio-electric energy that is in the human body.
Have one student touch the metal strip on one end and join hands
in a circle with the rest of the students in the class. When the
last student touches the other metal strip to complete the circuit,
the ball lights up and makes a fun sound. Use this for demonstrating
principles in science, or for building community in your classroom
throughout the school year.
“There are so many fun team-building challenges
my class loves to do with the Energy Ball. I just hold it up and
they fall into silence waiting to hear their next task.
Thanks
Rick you rock!”
Matthew Hartford, Clarendon Elementary School, San Francisco |

Chimes
work great as a quiet signal - the calming melodic sound cuts through
student chatter immediately. Teachers don't have to raise and strain
their voices, nag, or compete with student noise. Use all three notes
to get the class quiet and focused. Use one note as a one-minute
warning for finishing activities.
Timers
help keep teachers and their classes structured and consistent. They
can be used to time transitions for group incentives, independent
student work, and myriad activities in the classroom. Students tend
to be more productive and efficient when clear times are established
and reinforced.
