Eight Fidgets for the Classroom
Manage episode 385394657 series 2763438
We all know those kids who can’t quite get settled in the classroom. They may have a hard time sitting down to get their homework done. They may be zoning off in the middle of a lesson in school. Or they may look like they are paying attention, but their mind is constantly wandering off. These kids might benefit from a fidget!
Today's solo episode of the Calm and Connected podcast is all about fidgets, and in particular, the ones I think are great for the classroom.
The topics I cover in this episode are:
How I use Fidgets
Fidgets are tools, not toys
The different types of Fidgets
How you can make cost-effective Fidgets from a pool noodle
Using Velcro and fabrics as tactile tools
Fidgets which are available buy
My own Fidget
