How it works...
I ask a question. Lots of hands are in the air. I say, "Blow it in your hand."
What you will see...
Hands go down. Fists are formed in front of their mouths; they are blowing air into their fist. (kinda like warming your hands on a snowy adventure) I call, "Release!" Hands open and an explosion of (mostly) the correct answer is heard.
Why I like it...
1. Participation. It gives all students an opportunity to participate. 2. Think time. It gives all students a wait and think time until I release them. 3. Motivation. Everyone is eager to figure out the answer so they can share in the "moment." 4. Simplicity. It's simple to use and beneficial to the learning environment.
