Small-sided activities are a key component to successful manipulative activities. This session will equip the attendees with a variety of high energy and challenging activities that can be used in a K-12 setting.
TechNO Dance is an innovative, low-pressure workshop designed for educators who want to bring movement into the classroom without the "stage fright" of traditional dance instruction. The session focuses on breaking down the barrier between creative expression and technical mastery, proving that you don’t need to be a choreographer—or a tech wizard—to get students moving.
Big impact can come from small gestures. Learn how a plastic duck inspired a collaborative text thread, with educators across the globe contributing and creating numerous “duck activities” together, demonstrating how simple concepts can lead to powerful innovation and shared learning.
Discover how this simple “toy” can foster a sense of community through teamwork, communication, collaboration, and being kind to one another. Experience how a duck can spark movement, laughter, and connection while bringing joy and aligning with meaningful learning objectives.
Best of all, these ideas are flexible and adaptable for any setting, whether in the classroom or the gym, and can be used across all grade levels from K 12.
