Jumping jack countdown
Play the Jumping Jacks Song whenever energy dips. Kids count along out loud, which sneaks in a little math. Choose a different student leader each day so everyone gets a turn in front.
Why it works: a catchy, repeating tune gives the brain a hook to hang words on, so sung text is remembered better (Wallace, 1994).
