A little levity (hopefully) at the end of another semester:
FWD:
15 fun things to do to your students at the final
1. Walk in, get the exam, sit down. About five minutes into it, loudly say,
"Hey! Who are you people? Where's my real class? You people are
impostors!!"
2. Keep a box on your desk labeled "Bribes go here. All major credit
cards accepted."
3. When a student asks for a hint, yell, "You want the truth? YOU
CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!"
4. Pull out a wad of monopoly money and count through it repeatedly.
Wink at your students and say, "Ooh, some of you have made me quite
wealthy this semester."
5. Hire some cheerleaders and bring them to the test. Have them make
up cheers about you.
6. Pretend to wad up a student's exam. Giggle and say "Your dreams of
medical school have just been crushed by my hand."
7. Walk up to your best student, smile, and say, “You’re an inspiration to
us all.”
8. Run into the exam room looking about frantically. Breathe a sigh of
relief. Fling the exams in the air, screaming, "They've found me, I have to
leave the country!!" and run off.
9. Write the words "All play and no studying makes Jack fail" all over the
blackboard.
10. From the moment the exam begins, hum the theme to Jeopardy.
11. Stand next to a student and after they've answered a question, keep
saying, “Is that your final answer?”
12. Wear the costume of your favorite superhero. When you hand out
the test, yell to the class, “Hurry and finish now!! The rest of the universe
awaits!”
13. Wear a wig. Pull hairs out of it during your exam, telling your
students, “See what your ignorance has done to me?”
14. Dress up like the grim reaper and refuse to utter a word. Simply
point at the test and twirl your scythe.
AND...
15. Place a medicine bottle on your desk. Moan and say, “Side effects
include excessive flautulence?? Uh oh -- you people in the front row
better move back!"
