Old school classroom winners?

Chart paper all the way! Love me some visible thinking

What kinds of activities do you think work best using chart paper?

What kinds of activities do you think work best using chart paper?

I especially like using it for gallery walk responses, and "silent conversation" type of activities, but it also makes other things more fun, like the urbanization game, or basic graphic exercises, or  even for the contextualization tool.

What are your favorite old-school tools? ERIN CUNNINGHAM Anne Koschmider 

I have a classroom set of small markerboards that come in handy for video notes, brainstorming, and review games. 

I've also been trying to incorporate some variety with low-tech review games. One example is Roll and Review, in which students get a set of questions (like this) and roll two dice to determine which to answer. They play in small groups. 

These are great examples! Thank you for sharing. It can be so much more fun and meaningful to manipulate paper and markers and glue than to try to move around text boxes on a screen.

Thanks for the roll and review activity! Low-tech and easy to prep but still fun and effective.

Thanks for the visuals, Julianne Horowitz You've given me so many good ideas!

I think you could do some good SEL work this way too! Very low-key and non-threatening for the don't-like-to-talk-to-people kind of students.

I love my foldables! Even just a simple fold-that-paper-hotdog-style-we're-making-a-t-chart foldable is great in my book!

Another simple favorite foldable gets you a frayer model. Fold a paper in half, then in half again so you end up with a rectangle that 1/4 the size you started with. Then fold the corner that's all "closed up" about an inch and open it back up so you have a diamond/square in the center and four sections around it.
