Drama
Drama games and activities are great time fillers and icebreakers. They don’t require much planning and you and your students will have a blast while playing them. Here are a few websites that are filled with a ton of activities that you can do in the classroom!

Art (Bookmarks)
If you want to animate an easy art activity for all ages, try making bookmarks with them. All you’ll need is construction paper, envelops, scissors and glue. Speaking from experience, your students will have a blast making them and using the bookmarks will give an added excitement towards reading.
This idea was taken from Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/301600506276338651/
Please note that younger students may require extra scaffolding.

Poll Everywhere
Poll Everywhere functions under a similar premise as Kahoot. (Check out the Kahoot link in the math section of the website). The difference is that you can create questions that are open ended where students can submit answers anonymously from their phones (texting), and it will be displayed in real time for everyone to see. This helps with students that are more shy and allows everyone to participate. It’s great for high school students as a quick check in for what they know or are thinking about a topic !
