Thank you for sharing! I really enjoy the activity, but the classroom gets messy and feels chaotic, almost like a volleyball match. Here are some tips to make it more manageable: Snowballs can be tossed, but not at another person, and everyone should clean up after the activity.

Y’all just uploaded this. We freshmen in college. WE were freshmen in this!

I like the snowball fight idea- throwing away, sharing stresses.

Superb techniques! Thank you

I love this idea. He does, however, have a small group of students, so I wonder if this is his class entirely.

Often videos like this don't include the whole class because not all students want to be on camera or their parents didn't sign a release form.

Excellent!

New trick. Thanks.
