Standing Meeting

Students will energize and refocus their minds.

SET UP:

None

STEPS:

Standing Meeting is a quick energizer used as a state change to get students out of their seats after extended periods of sitting.

1. Have students stand up to process or share information with a partner. This is a good opportunity to use WICOR Study Buddies, a random name generator, or another way to pair up students.

Ideas include the following:

Repeat directions to a partner and clarify understanding
Respond to questions
Partner read
Quiz each other

Extension

To increase scaffolding:

• When students have been sitting for too long, have them stand up, turn to a partner, and respond to a question that is not content related. Ideas include the following:

What did you eat for lunch?
What are you doing after school?
Who did you eat dinner with last night?
