Tables Ready magnets...going to name my tables after artists next year and make magnets like this! Perfect idea
This Art Scavenger Hunt list is a brilliant way to get kids familiar with luminaries of art history, the genres their works belong to and an appreciation for the emotions and ideas that art can evoke.

Classroom redirection without interrupting the class. Copy about 10 of these on a piece of paper, laminate, cut out, carry some in your pocket as you walk around the classroom. If a student if off task or disturbing, lay one on the desk. Later the student should return it to you with an explanation
star crayon rewards, so making these over the summer for the classroom.
I think I may try this for next year instead of the cup system I am using now.

The Coil Pot Game is a high energy skill game we play during those crazy days that one class is ahead, another behind, or a snow delay has left us no other choice in scheduling! It is also a great lesson for a substitute teacher to follow through with- quick and easy directions for someone not comfortable with usual art plans. Students are divided into teams of 3-4 and given equal amounts of modeling clay per group. They are given a review on rolling coils, using a "pancake" bottom and general construction. Students are asked to develop strategies with their group. They should consider theories on construction, like: how they can best use their amount of clay...large coils vs. small coils? Also, divide jobs between teammates. The timer is set for approx. 15-25 minutes (you choose). BUZZZZZ! Measure all standing structures to determine the winning group! Remember: Students must let go of their vessels on the buzzer. Falling coils are disqualified, sorry! Structure and construction are important. Many of my winners do so on the "slow and steady win the race" theory I enjoy watching each group look at their peers ideas...they learn, rip apart, recoil, etc. I feel this game builds fantastic problem solving skills. We often call it our "Survivor Challenge" for all of you reality TV fans out there.

Fetching pins…
Brigid Howard I just used this in my 5th grade class as an art reward! So fun, the kids loved it. I would recommend 10 minutes unless you have a lot of clay.
