EGGciting day!

Easter eggs make anything fun. I love them so much that I planned an entire day's lesson using Easter eggs. Oh yes, my friends. My students enjoyed not only an egg hunt with a corresponding vocabulary activity, but also a spoon/egg relay race that went with a grammar practice of sorts. Step off my kinesthetic review games, beotch!! I pretty much wore a perma-grin all day watching "the children" (as Holly and I refer to them) hunt for the eggs, run in the relay race with the egg on the spoon, and generally enjoy my engaging activities. I was on top of the world. Easter eggs are the best. Other reasons Easter eggs are cool: they are colorful, they can hold things (in my case, instructional material), they sit so nicely in a basket. Any other ideas?

To add to the fun, another teacher upon seeing us engaging in our kinesthetic review game (I love educational jargon!), decided to play a prank and in between classes go steal all of the eggs. Our next class was thinking that I was an expert egg hider. Anyway, we've plotted revenge and named it, "Project Peep". We will fill the suspect teacher's classroom with Easter grass and stick peeps to his whiteboard.
