  Case: Outside Activity
At my school, we have to do a fifteen minute planned activity on the playground each day. For a four year old, this can very difficult. A few of my students do not want to participate in the activities, because they want to go play. Any ideas on how to keep these students interested and involved?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would make it part of the routine at the beginning of the year. That way the students know what to expect. I would tie this physical activity with a lesson that was just taught, or maybe a review of what they learned the previous day. Be creative, and imagine if you were playing it, might be more fun for the students if it was a group game or activity. You're not going to intrigue all of your students, but hopefully you will find an activity that most of your students enjoy. That way you have a back up activity if you're unable to think of a new one.
