Classroom Boredom Busters

Spark student curiosity and increase student participation with classroom activities that won't add to your busy workload. In Classroom Boredom Busters, veteran educator Donna Malone shares her proven ideas for exciting kids about learning.

Teachers of all content and subject areas in grades four through twelve can encourage active learning using movement (for example, role-playing being in a press conference); word games (such as writing messages in bottles); and friendly competitions (including game shows).

Educators who have attended Malone's professional learning workshops have received these ideas enthusiastically, and students of theirs still fondly recall, "I remember when..." because these teachers used activities from this book. With Classroom Boredom Busters, every lesson comes alive and becomes more memorable.
