You have discovered the benefits of being a flexible teacher and reading your students. This allows you to insert the right activity when you lose them to bring them back.

Karen, don't use football if you don't know how it is played. Is there a sport you enjoy you could adapt this idea to?

Dana, thank you so much for sharing how you teach time management with us in this forum. What a marvelous hands on experience to teach something that is not concrete. I plan to try it with my students. Your students are indeed lucky to have you as their teacher!
