Former teacher turned full time touring musician and I LOVE YALL!!!! Cant wait to see ya in NJ!

[@15piper]

Do be honest, most of the lessons that I remember today throughout all of grade school are the ones where we played games (e.g. class jeopardy, etc). Those classes were always my favorite.

[@heathercottrill3505]

The alphabet game! Pick a topic, food, animals, something you’d find in any random room of your house. Each person goes in order, 1st person item has to start with an A, followed by B,C,D etc. It was my family’s road trip game driving back from Key West to Boca in torrential rain. Ironically it also helped with my dementia clients.

I would love to see Tyler as a permanent host! I love this trio

I have adhd and i love diary of a wimpy kid. Easy for my brain to focus

[@AegroAgro]

Fun story i want to share from several years ago that really stuck with me and motivates me all the time: when i was in about 6th grade i wouod have to wait a while after school to wait for my mom to come and pick me up after work. During that time i would help tutor a boy in my math class that didn't understand the curriculum when i really understood it (always way ahead of the class during this particular unit). And over the weeks we worked together after school on homework i started really seeing his growth. A few weeks after this i got a letter from my math teacher thanking me for helping the kid in a way he couldn't (he couldn't really explain it in a way the kid would understand). I still remember and get a great feeling whenever I think about it and it helps to motivate me to help others to this day. Hearing this podcast gets me excited for the rest of this year of growth and learning understanding more about teachers and what they do for students

[@Lil_Ch33r]

That is great, I’m also ahead in math in everything except certain divisions, I tutor over half my class and I get tutored by one of those said classmates for said divisions, and we had grown to being best friends and gotten awards for being the class tutors

[@AegroAgro]

@Lil_Ch33r that sounds exhausting man! I couldn't imagine doing more than 1 even now

[@Lil_Ch33r]

@@AegroAgro it’s not as hard as you think, my class is really close so we normally just sit on the oval and take maybe 5 minute breaks every 10 minutes and surprisingly none of my classmates are failing, and this is Australia as well so we normally just play footy when we’re done with studying

[@AegroAgro]

@Lil_Ch33r alright that makes sense. It's nice you and your classmates are close

[@Lil_Ch33r]

@@AegroAgro yeah and it’s good that you help out a classmate when a teacher couldn’t, I can tell that it helped a lot

[@kellywilliams2419]

I watched this a few weeks ago. I watched it again today as we prepare to go back to school after 2 1/2 weeks of being out due to Hurricane Helene here in WNC. I wanted some game ideas for my freshman as we ease back into the “normal” routine of school life. Thank you for the ideas…and the laughs:)

[@brik8319]

I like the game that Tyler created, especially since it’s not jeopardy. I always hated playing Jeopardy because it’s so hard if you’re not good at that type of game. ❤

[@heather53080]

After watching this I started the counting game. My 4th graders love it!!

[@heathermyers454]

I have dyslexia and games was a awesome way for me to learn and retain content. Jeaperday was a go to game for our teachers.

[@jackiec177]

A teacher, I guess, thought I had dyslexia by doing his own test seeing my writing then suddenly started saying words super weird, but it was still technically correct, and it helped my spelling. Example skissors, and after that, I always remember that scissors have a c. He was already known as super silly, so it wasn't out of nowhere.

[@gretelcoverdale7785]

Thank you for this episode! I really feel inspired to add more fun games and brain breaks to my teaching, especially to build community at the beginning of the year. Also, keep Tyler around! You guys are the best!

[@1addition1subtraction]

Omg Kahoot reminds of my middle school and high school days, the boys would use such inappropriate name that’s the teachers had to change the settings so we get random names given from Kahoot 😂

[@margaretjoy_stucky]

i wish i did played games in school after a big test. because here where I live when it is a map testing or state testing or anything we mainly just sit and wait until the students are done with there tests and then we get back to classwork. and also I completely agree with the giving five or 10 min to wake up there kids or students mind before class start I love that and I wish we did have that .

[@lisafreemanbaca3459]

4 corners content game: have 4 concepts on the board. Maybe vocabulary, I do rhythms since I'm a music teacher. Do a 4 corners count down, then say the one of definition (I clap the rhythm) or whatever identifier you've choosen. Whoever is in that corner is out. Randomize your order ahead of time and go down your hidden list or even use google to be your random number generator.

[@ESPHMacD]

We would usually play Catch Phrase or Jeopardy, but with the High Schoolers that we were in those classes…. we got so into it, it was amazing but also so rowdy and as close to out of control without being over the line…. Best way to spend an hour period, honestly.

YESSSSS ANOTHER BANGER FROM THIS TRIO WOOHOO!

[@daniellemitchell3118]

At my school, we're allowed to play games. Also, we're an EL school. Part of that is we have CREW( "We are crew, not passengers.") We have it every day first thing in the morning for a half hour. Many of the activities are games. We play THIS or THAT, Rock, Paper, Scissors, 4 Corners. One time, I taught my class how to do the Soul Train Line.

[@_ChoccooMilkk_]

The only things I remember from English class senior year were my student teacher (she was very funny and I had a crush on her lol) and the kahoot games, the teachers didn’t care about names, as long as it wasn’t anything non school appropriate we could put what we wanted. My go to was Soy Venganza (I’m Vengance in Spanish 😂) I’m a huge superhero comic book/graphic novel fan and so my thing with Kahoot games was to choose a random comic book or superhero related name and see what got reactions, I like teaching people about this stuff if they ask so that was always fun. Thanks for helping me dig up the memories!

[@mieander]

Balderdash-good to introduce new vocabulary. Have kids invent definitions and write them down, bonus points if they got it right. Read a few and have everyone vote on the one they think is right. Stump the teacher (one teacher actually pulled out a stump to sit on. I'd do it the last 10 minutes of class on Fridays. The kids can ask any science question (without looking at the book). If they knew the answer and I didn't, they got a piece of candy. (I'd let them have a win now and then even if I knew it, especially if it was a kid that didn't usually participate).

[@jessyperreault262]

In 6th and 5th grade we played survivor like legit survivor we had 3 tribes, and we’d have a safety challenge and an elimination challenge and we would vote off who was the weakest until we had one winner the last day of school

Favorite high school teacher would have us play the geography game on the day before a test which is basically he'd start off and throw out a name of river, city, state, country and you'd have to call out one that started with the last letter of the place he called it was so hard and we all learned geography really well because if you couldn't answer on your turn you were out

[@thedragonqueen6304]

I have found tht a lot of teachers don’t know how to deal with kids with ADHD and the way tht kids with it learn changes from child to child and if u r not engaging them and force them to sit still and embarrass them by demanding they sit still u have fully lost tht kid may as well send them home for the rest of the day cause they r done with u and the whole day. Thts a good portion of my education experience and definitely contributed to my lack of effort

[@michellebehnfeldt3998]

DESTROYING my students during Blookit has become my new favorite pastime. Another thing you might want to do is partner with another teacher (if possible) that teaches the same grade. If they're doing Blookit and you are not, get the code. If you have fast finishers (that get things correct at least 75%) give them the code to log in to the game and play against the other class. My Science "Son" and I did this toward the end of the year with our 8th graders and we DIED laughing with their comments! "Mr. W...we got some unauthorized hoodlums in our game!" [Actual student words!] I LOST IT when I heard it. Not only do you get extra review for the kids, but they get to compete against people that they know but don't see during class time too! ❤️😍🥰

I have been trying to grasp the Graphic novels - good - bad? So feel better about grandsons obsession with them! Already good readers so thinking shouldn't they move on? But maybe any reading is good...

[@daniellered114]

All reading is good reading! What I'd just be mindful of is that some graphic novels are not child appropriate. It's an easy assumption that they're 'cartoons' and for kids, but some have really adult content!

[@adamleer1]

Agree. My 12 year old grandson and I were discussing Manga as maybe not appropriate. Unfortunately they will have older friends around and what is forbidden becomes tempting. I had never realized (naive grandmother) how far R some graphic novels have gotten so it was an interesting conversation) which did not endear graphic novels to me!

[@daniellered114]

@@adamleer1 but the same can be said for NA and YA novels. Covers and blurbs can mean things SEEM appropriate but really aren't. I just think sometimes parents are a little bit less aware of stuff if it has pictures in as they automatically assume it'll be appropriate, but may still need discussion.

[@adamleer1]

@@daniellered114 I have always read books along with kids. That way we can discuss and I find some goods books to recommend! I was a travel nanny for years and the kids turned me on to new books!
