Magic Trash...aka Golden Garbage
Do you ever need a quick way to clean up your classroom floor...or even your living room floor? Play "Magic Trash"! I have two students assigned the "Floor Crew" job each week, but it never fails...I am teaching to the last possible moment and this job gets thrown to the wayside way too often. So, rather than expecting two students to clean the entire classroom floor full of the daily magazine cuttings, paper wads, pencils, erasers, crayons, and the like...have all students to "pitch in"!
As the teacher, you locate a "special" piece of trash...and as the students throw their findings away, watch for the "special" piece. When you see it, shout "Magic Trash"! Give the winner a small token of your appreciation.
You may also "pick" your trash while students are throwing their handfuls away. I do this if I know a student is having a bad day. This usually brightens the icky day!
