Classroom Activities

I'm not actually going to join the group on Facebook that has these, but I found a funny list of actions you can do in the classroom to eliminate boredom. I'll post a few of my favorites:

• Carve a bust of your professor out of cheese. Tie a ribbon around it, and present it to him/her at the beginning of class. Demand extra credit.


• Whenever you answer the phone, do so in a French accent, and slowly change it to a Japanese accent.


• Threaten to jump out of a ground floor window.


• In a meeting or crowded situation, slap your forehead repeatedly and mutter, "Shut up, damn it, all of you, just shut up."


• Leave your zipper open for one hour. If anyone points it out, say, "Sorry, I really prefer it this way".


• Look at the person next to you for a while, say "You're one of them!", then run out the classroom.


• Every few minutes, take a sheet of notebook paper, write Signup Sheet at the top, and start passing it around the room.


• Name your pen Mr. Pen. Talk to him often. Cry and go mad if Mr. Pen commits suicide (falls off the table).


• Have a funeral for Mr. Pen.


• When you are taking a true/false test: Whenever the answer is false, stand up, grab your hair with both hands, and scream "LIES, ALL LIES!" Sit back down, acting like nothing happened, and repeat.


• Pluck out someone's hair and yell, "DNA!!!"


• Play Teacher Bingo: Have everyone in the class write down 6 words, and when the teacher says one of your words, you cross it off. When all your words have gone, stand up and shout "BINGO!", then sit down and carry on working.


• Organize a whole bunch of people to fall off their chairs at the same time.


• During a test, open up your bag, look inside, and say, "Got enough air in there?"


• Put a sign on your desk that says "Out of my mind, be back soon", then go to sleep. If your teacher wakes you up, scream, "CAN'T YOU READ THE SIGN?!", then go back to sleep.


• Start having fights with yourself aloud over which one of your personalities is better. Start to cry and say, "I love you both; why can't we all just get along?" And if you are really insane, have your personalities hug and make up. Then have all of your personalities gather round to sing Kumbaya! (I suggest you do this when it is really quiet in the room; it scares more people.)
