Mini Lesson- Personal Space Ice Breaker
Kids love this activity! It's great for classroom management or an ice breaker as it gives kids an opportunity for movement and interaction.
Students pair up with a partner of the same gender, and need a yardstick. They stand 3 feet apart, toe-to-toe and record their comfort level using a 1-5 scoring rubric. They repeat this procedure moving closer in 1 inch increments. They stop when they get to their "1" comfort level.
The guys posture and laugh, and the girls giggle. Everyone has fun!

This document is a nice listing of WEB sites others have shared with me over the years. Now I'm sharing it with you. None of the informational reviews were written by me. Enjoy.

Additional biographical information
Motivating students has been a fulfilling practice in my 20+ years in public education. My materials are particularly helpful with at-risk populations. I've written all my materials to be of high educational value while allowing students more creative choice. It feels great to hear students say, "This is fun"! Everyone learns, and classroom management issues are drastically reduced. I know you'll enjoy my products as well.
