Frequently asked questions
Do the activities need any supplies?
No. Every activity uses only what's already in the room — desks, chairs, and bodies.
How long does each activity take?
Most run 1-3 minutes, short enough to use between lessons without losing the rest of the period.
Is this appropriate for any age group?
The activities are written for general K-8 classroom use; use your judgment for younger or older groups.
