Easy Warm Up Engagement Ideas For Distance Learning and In School Learning

May 14, 2020 by missvin3

Easy and simple may be my middle name and that is exactly what I like to do in my classroom. Engaging warmups have always been one of my favorite ways to get kids excited about the lesson before we start. I love using warmup games that can easily be used for a variety of subjects, without having to reteach a new game every time! Remember, the easy and simple middle name thing? 🙂

*DID YOU KNOW?* I recently have added all of my math warm-up games and put them into ONE HUGE resource! Be sure to check them out here!

True or False? That is the question! We loved using this easy game as a math warmup! I wrote a fact on the board (it can be any subject, any question, not just math facts!) and kiddos had to tell me (in our Zoom chat) if it was true or false. If it was false, students had to tell me what made it true. To help with differentiation, I added a few numbers on the bottom so kiddos could use them to better help them figure out how to make it true! This was a hit and I’ll be using this in the classroom too!
OH SNAP!! This EASY & ENGAGING game is so fun! I picked a card and called on a student to read it, if they got it correct it went into their “pile.” If they read it incorrectly, it went back into the bin. After one student went, the next student went, and so on. If the card that came up was the OH SNAP card, I “snapped” up all of that student’s cards and returned them to the pile. So many ways to make this work for you and your kiddos in you classroom. (Sight words, math facts, SS/Sci vocab – kids will define the word that you show, morning meeting questions, grammar and more!) The possibilities are endless!
Today, we played 2 wrongs and 1 right. Students saw the problems, typed into Zoom the right and wrong answers, and we had a very dramatic reveal. Other ways to use this could be spelling, vocab, content definitions, grammar, and many more!
Make it true! Such a fun and easy math engagement warm up! I have always loved using warms ups before each guided math small group session but did not realize how important they were for our #onlinelearning time. My kids really looked forward to them. In this game, students have to make the number sentence true, however they choose to do so. I love when a student chooses to change the inequality and their minds are all blown. 🤯 😂 Looking forward to adding more #easyengagement games to our math rotations!
Poof! This easy engagement math warm up was so fun! Students had to use two numbers that equaled our target number and then the numbers that they used would POOF! and be taken off the board. Most students used addition but when a student used subtraction, their minds went 🤯🤯🤯! I’ve thought about using this with fractions, rounding, area, phonics, just to name a few!

These warm ups have been such a great addition to my class and I love creating new ones as the year goes on! 🙂
