EGGSPERT CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT
EGGSPERT is a great classroom management tool. Assign EGGSPERT's
colors to the groups in your class: Blue, Orange, Purple, Yellow, Pink, and
Green. Then when it's time to make a decision, let EGGSPERT choose.
"Which row goes to lunch first?" Let EGGSPERT choose.
"Who will read the next paragraph?" Let EGGSPERT choose.
Need to create baseball teams or project groups? Select two to six colors,
depending on the number of teams or groups you need to create. Each
student comes forward and presses the white CONTROL BUTTON. If the last
egg lit is green, for example, then that student is assigned to the green group.
"What team are you on?" Let EGGSPERT choose.
"What project group are you part of?" Let EGGSPERT choose.
CARNIVAL GAMES
When it comes time for the school carnival or a fund-raising event,
EGGSPERT can be a valuable resource. Here are some examples:
Trivia QUIZ SHOW Booth: For this activity you can have from two to six
contestants at a time. Give each participant a colored ANSWER BUTTON. Ask a
question. The first person to press the button and answer correctly wins the
round. Keep score on a chalkboard. The participant with the highest score after
5 or 10 questions wins a prize. (HINT: Using questions from commercial trivia
games saves set-up time.)
Spin and Toss: For this activity you'll need to create a backdrop (from wood or
heavy cardboard) into which you've cut six holes of various sizes. Color the outside
of each circle one of the EGGSPERT colors. The participant presses the white
CONTROL BUTTON, setting the eggs in motion. If the yellow egg lights up
and begins blinking, the participant must throw a tennis ball through the yellow
hole before the timer runs out.
Spin and Throw: This activity is similar to Spin and Toss. Just substitute
balloons and darts or colored cups floating in a swimming pool pond for the
backdrop and ball.
"Teacher, May I?": Assign each participant an EGGSPERT color and have them
line up, shoulder to shoulder. Set the eggs in motion. If the green egg remains
lit, all "green" participants must follow the teacher's directions ("Take one
giant step forward"). Play continues until the first person crosses the line.
JUST FOR FUN!
