An activity I have used successfully, is to have my students create a lesson plan to teach the class. I use it the last 1-2 weeks of school, having 2-3 students present each day. Each student is designated a 30 minute block of time (if it’s a math lesson, I try to schedule it during my math block). They can teach ANY lesson they want, funny thing is, they always teach real core subject lessons! I would let them teach how to make a paper airplane, the “Cup Song”, origami, etc., if they wanted to, but they always choose core subjects. My only requirement is they complete the lesson plan template. (It’s up to you if you want to tell them they can teach ANYTHING and give them easier suggestions). So even those last days, they’re still learning! And, by their peers!
Best part aside from you not having to create lesson plans...they are really well behaved for each other! They love their "friends" being the teacher!!!

We all know how this time of year gets for EVERYONE, so several of my BBBs have come together to share some tips of how we can make it through the rest of the year. PLUS, each blog will have a freebie AND a chance to win THREE TPT Gift Certificates and a Classroom Friendly Pencil Sharpener! Isn't that exciting?
We know this time of year gets a little crazy, so why not release control of your class and let your students do the work??!! Yes, they TEACH the class!

Be prepared to see how you look, sound, and act when you teach because they will copy a lot of what they see you do every day! I hope you and your students enjoy this fun activity and it relieves a little stress for you at this busy time of year!
