WHAT'S IN YOUR BAG?

In advance of a staff meeting, ask staff members to put into a bag 20 items found in their desks, wallets, briefcases, and purses. They should bring their bags to the meeting. Using the items brought, have a contest to see who has the

  • largest number of people in a picture.
  • oldest coin.
  • smallest pencil.
  • highest number of calories in a single item of food/candy.
    Give prizes to the winners in each category.

    [content block] SPLITTING THE TAKE

    Start your staff meetings with a 50/50 drawing in which people can purchase a raffle ticket for $1. A duplicate-numbered ticket is put into a container. A ticket is drawn from the container and the matching ticket holder gets half of the money collected. The other half can go for a mutually agreed upon activity, for example, purchasing items for the break room, a donation to a charity, or student scholarships.

    For more staff meeting fun, be sure to see Education World's archive of 36 Instant Meeting activities.

    GRIN AND SHARE IT

    "What is the chemical formula for water?" the second-grade teacher asked her class.

    Tommy immediately raised his hand.

    "Yes, Tommy," the teacher said. "Do you know the answer?

    "Yes, Mrs. Green, it's H-I-J-K-L-M-N-O!"

    "What are you talking about?" asked Mrs. Green.

    "Yesterday you said it's H to O!" exclaimed Tommy.
