Instant Motivation: Boys versus Girls
You can spice up almost any classroom game or activity by declaring boys against girls competition.
Examples:
> Who can score the most points in the test review game?
> Who uses the neatest handwriting on their essay?
> Which team will score the most As on the math test?
> Who can keep their desk the neatest?
> Which team can pick up the most scraps from the floor?
> Which team can earn the most AR (Accelerated Reader) points?
… you get the idea. Boys versus girls can work for any activity, academic or otherwise. Try it!
