Elevate
Shake-off
This activity turns student learning notes into a quick movement challenge. Students first use sticky notes during the lesson to stop, draw, jot, and process what they are learning. Later, those same sticky notes become part of an active classroom microburst where students shake, move, laugh, reset, clean up, and return to learning with more energy.

Bubble Wrap Stomp + Flip & Catch
A quick, high-energy microburst using one sheet of bubble wrap per student. Students choose a partner, stomp their bubble wrap for short 15–20 second bursts, then freeze when the teacher calls “Stop!”
After a few stomp-and-freeze rounds, partners flip and catch the bubble wrap back and forth, aiming for 25–35 catches. It’s fast, fun, and helps build energy, focus, coordination, impulse control, and shared joy.
