Bouncy Bands to Accommodate Students

Students need to move and be active so how can you best accommodate with all the COVID restrictions? Bouncy bands may be the solution.

At times, flexible seating isn’t an option so I looked for other ways to help my students who need to move. I tried three different bouncy bands and this one is the winner. The bands slip on the students seats, they are quiet, and the students can have at it. These have been so helpful to students who need to shake their legs or tap their feet. Plus, these are quiet and didn't cause distractions. I was hesitant at first because of the cost but they are well worth it.

Since they are so expensive I would suggest using DonorsChoose or a grant to get funding for them. I started with a few to help my students with disabilities and/or ADHD and found that almost all the students wanted them. I was able to get a large amount of flexible seating options by using DonorsChoose. If you have any questions comment below or reach out.

Gimkit Don't Look Down

Gimkit came out with a new mode almost a week ago and the students love it. It's called Don't Look Down. In this mode, students work to reach the 6 different summits. Along the way they jump on various objects and test their skills. This game can teach you about your risk takers and your cautious students. If you want to add extra excitement, play with your students to see who gets higher. This is currently the favorite mode for my classes and I'd recommend giving it a try if you haven't.
