Spark Student Motivation: Slap on the Wrist!

Happy Saturday! It’s time to motivate each other and our upcoming students!

We’re going to try to make it home tonight from New York. Yes, we’re driving…I’m not a fan of flying, but after this looooong trip, next time...we’ll fly. We only made it to Delaware last night after visiting Six Flags in New Jersey-the weather was awful!
I wanted to share a quick, simple idea to share while I'm on the road.
 

I know our brains never rest during “summer” because we’re thinking of all the things we want/need to do with our upcoming school year. That’s what I love about this linky party…we get so many ideas from each other to get motivated! What have you found while shopping or thought of doing differently in your class to get your students excited?

Well, I think I’m going to give my students a “slap on the wrist”!

(not literally) :O)

I found these slap wrist bracelets at Hobby Lobby last week on clearance and knew I could use them to get my students motivated.

 Here are some samples I made:

 

There are so many possibilities for these bracelets. My son snatched the Math Whiz bracelet right off the table! He is modeling the Math Whiz bracelet below (because he is one!). He said mom, "Everybody love these bracelets!" And the best part of these slap wrist bracelets? They're foam, so they don't hurt.
 I will also leave some blank for special occasions.

Of course, while I was working on these bracelets, my daughter wanted me to make her one too! Which is the perfect testimonial... these bracelets can be motivating at school or home!

 

You know your students would be thrilled if you walked by and slapped one of these on their wrists!

 

Link up any idea that motivates you or your students-if it motivates you, it motivates them! No idea is too small or too big! :O)
