Testing motivation ideas by Leticia Randolph https://padlet.com/lrandolph1/73ligt9zdw6c We would like to have a rally to get our students motivated and ready to do good on the test. Please add any ideas you have here.

Example: magic pencils from a special tree - then principal leaves pencils for students.

For example, relay games. Teachers and students compete against teachers and students from other grade levels. Another example: students teach someone from the staff how to do the latest popular dance. Then a fun, motivational speech is given by admin.

  • Every morning teachers will bring 3-6 graders to the cafeteria to eat breakfast together like a big family (to build community)

    • During breakfast, admin can host Minute-to-Win-It games and have student volunteers come and play for prizes.

    • Throughout the week, students will get raffle tickets for their attendance and will be entered into a drawing for a prize on Friday morning.

    • After breakfast, all the kids could do a GoNoodle dance in their classrooms to get their blood flowing (or teachers could go have them race outside)

    • Ending the morning kick-off, we could play We Will Rock You and students can sing along as they exit to go "rock the test".
