Synopsis

All educators know how challenging it is to keep their students focused. Sometimes you have to go outside the lesson plan in order to keep the program moving. This book supplies dozens of ideas to help teachers plan a creative opening for a lesson, energizing their students in the middle of an ongoing lesson, or energize a big finish to a lesson. Pick out the relevant game, exercise or idea from this highly energized book of ideas and watch the fireworks go off.

All the ideas contained in this book have come together over from the collective minds of over ten years of teaching experience using ideas that have worked with thousands of students in hundreds of schools. Some come from the author s own creative mind, others have been contributed by teachers from all over, and still others are tried and tested motivational plans that have shown guaranteed results. The key that fits all of these is that they entertain while at the same time they engage young people in order to prove, as Socrates the Greek philosopher once stated, Life and learning should be a festival of the mind.
