    Hello Everyone,

    I will be presenting CLASS at our annual training when we return back to school in August.  I am in need of some fun and interesting training ideas for 1/2 of a day.  I remember there was a Jeopardy game someone had used before that I found, but I can no longer find it. If someone has it; can you please share with me?

    Also, if anyone has any other fun games or activities that will keep my audience engaged and awake LOL can you please share with me? We have Infants/Toddlers and

    Pre-K 3-4 year olds' teachers. 

    I have provided my email address just in case someone would like to email me any ideas.

    Thank you all in advance,

    Here is a CLASS Jeopardy game.  I have not used it or even double checked the answers/questions... but found it on-line.  You can also use this site to build your own game.

    I've had success with an activity I created. Super simple to make. A chart with six CLASS indicators/behavioral markers on the top, and then six times of the school day down the side. Then I hand out a "die within a die" and give the instructions of roll the die... the number on the inside is for the top row the number on the outer die is for the rows. Then they fill in the chart with how they would meet that combination in the class day. So when they get to the combination of "open ended questions" and "meal times" they might write "ask children to tell what they know about the vegetable". Staff have always loved this as its random with the rolling of the die. You can also add features like turning it into a game and whoever fills all squares first wins a prize. Then add more to the training by having people share what they wrote in the squares and evaluating whether it meets the requirement. You can also tailor it to what the group needs. If they are struggling with Classroom Organization then you can only put indicators/behavioral markers from those dimensions. Or if they are struggling to see how this really fits in all areas of the class day choose easy to find behavioral markers and match them with challenging times of day. 

    Hope this makes sense.

    Hey Robbie, here's the thread you were thinking of! It has a few different games community members created. 

    Additionally, our menu of Custom Event topics has some engaging and quick sessions that could be useful for your Infant Toddler teachers throughout the year.
