Are you feeling the strain of the end-of-year chaos in the classroom?
“My students are apathetic and completely checked out!”
“Chattiness, off-task behaviours, and disruptions are at an all-time high!”
“Some behaviour has majorly escalated!”
Sound familiar? You’re not alone.
The combination of tired students, tired teachers, heightened excitement, and a lack of routine can wreak havoc on behaviour. But with a little prep (and a few no-prep strategies), you can channel that energy effectively—and get to the end of the year... dare I say, not just surviving, but thriving!!
IN THIS EPISODE, I DISCUSS:
- Why this time of year is so challenging: Understanding the factors behind the end-of-year chaos.
- Three go-to games you can use in a pinch to upregulate or downregulate student energy, all while keeping the classroom fun and functional.

Grab the brain break bundle: 6 games (600+ questions) to use each and every day to channel energy, build rapport, boost engagement, and encourage a positive, connected, class community.
