Creativity Challenges: Brain Breaks, Community Building, Bell-Ringers, + More!

Nothing is more fun than your students pleading with you to complete a task that is at once time-sensitive, out-of-the-box, and writing focused! This was my absolute greatest creation in my first year of teaching, and it stuck with me through every year that I was in the classroom. What started out as a desire to push my kids (and have some fun along the way) quickly turned into a weekly classroom staple!

This resource comes with T E N creativity challenges that your students will never have seen before! They are made to be quick, they are designed to build community in your classroom should you choose to allow students to share their responses, and they are made to be low-stakes. These are PERFECT as bell-ringers, brain breaks, post-testing assignments, station work, or even (in the case of my students) rewards!

Time to turn on those think tanks and watch your class S H I N E !
