Real Rap With The Reynolds I made a video with my fifth graders. I was in the classroom, teaching them like a regular day. I received consent to record them, but I look back on the video, and one of my kids is in the front row, right in front of my iPad camera, smiling and waving to the camera. So adorable. (They knew they'd be lowkey famous, so they hammed it up). 😂😂😂
Ye, my first initial is C, so I go by this pseudonym online, college baseball team use to call me by this name too, minus the "ert" - & I'm from the great state of California! Yeehaw
More ideas please!!! I had a moment where my lesson plan ended early and I had a mini heart attack not exactly sure what to do. Oh the joys of first year teaching. 😂
That still happens to me, especially when the internet goes out or my computer isn't working properly. It comes in really handy to have a few fun ideas in your back pocket. Sporkle is fantastic. There are fun quizzes on everything. Second year of teaching is infinitely better. Please let me know if I can help with anything!
A veteran teacher recommend word searches or word finds for when I was a substitute! Kids love them. Haven't tried them out with the older kids but the elementary age students seemed to always be excited. I always keep them handy now since they're great if lessons finish earlier than expected. You can also be creative and choose seasonal ones or characters kids like. I recently did Dr. Suesss in March and it was a hit!
Love your energy with you kids. I’m 22 years in and running outta steam. You’re an inspiration to the youth and us old folks. Thanks for your dedication to them and to us.
Love all of these ideas. My favorite activity for the end of class is Silent Ball. Students sit on top of their desks and throw a ball around the room. They're out if they drop the ball or they make any noises. Kids seem to really love it.
I know you put this video up in May but I just saw it now in my recommended, I loved the weird picture idea and Sporkle, I had never heard of that one before! I really like your content, I'm currently training to be a secondary school English and Religious Education teacher here in Ireland and love seeing how people teach in different countries! Keep up the great content!
youve got a new subscriber! came here from pocketful of primary. i am teaching high school and there just aren't that many of us in this youtube space. I am loving these activity ideas! Definitely going to implement them in my class next school year
+Real Rap With The Reynolds I want to know how to prepare for the program.I am at the infancy stage.just starting to take classes,not at student teaching yet but you teachers are amazing. I want in!!
THANK YOU FOR THIS!! I just started working for the YMCA, I do y care (before and after school care at an elementary school) we have some awkward breaks definitely, I modified the marker game for our cafeteria. Thanks!
Thank you so much for making these videos. Last year was my first year teaching in the classroom (I started teaching in the pandemic... so I started teaching via zoom...). I almost gave up last year because of how difficult things got for me. Part of it was my own lack of classroom management. Your videos are really helping me brainstorm and prepare for this coming year.
I started subbing this year. I found you a few months ago over the summer when I was looking for advice for teacher job interviews as I'm hoping to turn this into a career. Since I started subbing my biggest pet peeve has become the touching. You are not wrong. These kids are always touching each other and play fighting. I don't remember that from when I was in school but I'm sure it happened. It's funny the things you notice when you are in charge of a classroom that you never noticed when you were a student yourself. 😂
Just found your vids from your classroom tour and subscribed before vid was over. Officially obssessed. love your ideas! I've had students draw a summary of whatever the lesson was that day so can't wait to use funny pictures.
+Karen Sanchez the pics are hilarious!! If everyone is on point, I go through all of them at the end of the test. Thanks for the compliments! It really makes my day!
I used Sporcle for my class right before we went to lunch, and it worked wonders. I love using these activities to fill that little gap of time before class is over. It keeps me from getting frustrated when kids are talking because they have nothing left to do.
This is so perfect!!!! Sometimes we end up with spare time because some lessons don’t take the kids very long. Thank you!!!!! So perfect and I would have so much fun!! (For my kids final I made them be A T Rex and complete activities lol ) they had already had their EOC so I needed a science activity. It was hilarious and fun.
I just recently decided that I wanted to be a highschool teacher (I'm a junior in college) and I love these videos!! I love coming up with ideas for the future with the hope of having a fun classroom (-:
Thanks for sharing! You're awesome! I got some ideas of my own developing while I'm watching you. Thanks for your funny and interesting videos! I love it!
SIIIIIR I'M IN COLLEGE! YOUR VLOG GONE BE A HUUUUGE HIT IN ONE YEAR !!!!!!! JUST NEVER EVER QUIT, OR SKIP ONE SINGLE DAY OR WEEK I GUARANTEE THIS IS GONE BE HUUUGEEEEE. I JUST FOLLOW YOUR ACCOUNT !!!!! LOVE YA
+Paul Oyane thanks Paul! I'm going to be going hard all summer. My students and I will be meeting up over the summer months and doing trips. I have tons planned. Thanks for the love!
One game I love to do with my kids is, man I forget what it's called, but the last letter game. Pick a word, and the students have to go around and say a word that starts with the last letter of the previous. Tiger rabbit turtle elephant ect. You can set it to topics to, or parts of speech - as you would imagine, it gets pretty hard and you run out of E words pretty fast. When that happens, and no one in the class can think of a word with that letter, I just put an X over it and use the second to last letter. With my TEFL kids, it makes them think really hard about all the words that they've learned, and also the spelling of them. You can do a sort of around-the-world thing with the kids, where if they can't think of a word, they're out, and it becomes a last kid standing kinda thing. By kids have a weird combination of absolutely loving and friggen hating this game. So of course we play it all the time. :o)
I love those floating book shelves so much! I need to watch some CZcams videos about drilling into concrete walls... I have a subscription to Flocabulary and my kids love voting on (screaming out suggestions for) a video to watch if we have a few minutes left 😉
+toocoolformiddleschool blog Those shelves are one of my favorite things in my room. I built them a few years ago. The school was buying bookshelves for the teachers and I asked if I could have cash to make my own. Someone suggested flocabulaty to me at the end of the school year. I'll check it out. Thanks!
A suspect it's for you and the kids. Who wouldn't want to flip whiteboard markers onto the whiteboard ledge. It's good to have a few things you can do in the last few minutes of a lesson.
Reynolds, I really enjoy your videos and all the insight. I am a retired cop starting to teach Social Studies in a high risk junior high school. We aren’t as big as your town (in Colo Spgs, CO) but we face a lot of similar issues I think. Student in Homeless situations, gangs, single parents, absent parents, etc.... I love your game ideas to create a fun atmosphere not seen in most classrooms. I’d like to no more of them please. Also wondering what you would says is one piece of advice you can give to be relevant, not popular with this group. I don’t want to be just another teacher trying to appear like I care, I really do and want to create the atmosphere of trust and belonging. Best Regards Brian in Colorado.
Another great one: put a quarter on the white board, up high. Let it slide down. If student can stop it with their nose before it hits the ledge, they keep the quarter (or some other prize). I have to get a talk kid to run the game, as I am barely 5’1” and can’t reach above most my students’ heads, lol! They LOVE this game!
Thank uu!! My lesson ran so short and i had 30 minutes left i had no idea what to do, so i just gave them bunch of exercises to do in class and correct them tgt
Yes please make more! I'm frequently faced with the problem - what if some of the kids finish an assignment and have to wait for the others? And also, when I'm teaching online, what activities could I do, since obviously all the "group" or movement activities aren't right?
This is the absolute best! I am so happy I found your channel yesterday! Your kids are total hams - I love it! I'm a middle school drama teacher and I'm willing to bet they would love quick improv games to finish out the class period too! You clearly have an amazing relationship with them - do you have any videos on your classroom management style? Thanks!
My guys are total hams! Haha! I've never done improv games. That's a great idea. Where could I go to find some good examples? I do have a classroom management video. I'm going to make one over the summer as well that will focus on some more unorthodox approaches I use. Have a great weekend!
One of the best teacher I have ever met. Thank u soo much for this video sir. I would like to implement some of ur ideas and tricks in my class too. Lots of love from India.....
If you notice he has attention and control over an all boy class age 14 through 16 ish that is impossible in a co ed class. Coed education is more damaging to young boys than 15 hours of screen time a day
hello there, I'm from the Philippines planning to teach there in US but have anxiety if the students have high regard to their teachers specially foreign teachers. thanks for your advise in advance
Real Rap With The Reynolds Thanks! Can't ever find a keychain with my name on it though, lol!!! My 10 yr old daughter loves you too and thinks you're cool! She says "Hi!" too!
+Virshone Brinkley Sproles tell her I said thank you. My son is named Brody and my daughter Marley. We always laugh that they can't find keychains too😂😂
Miko Santos "Bus Stop" is super easy and you just need three chairs facing the desks. One person sits in the middle while the other person exhibits annoying qualities and behaviors until the original person moves down/and eventually off of the bus stop. I have a thousand of them up my sleeve if you want more!
I like your style. I can relate to it. I think I am similar. I’d love some advice new to middle school English, teaching all girls classes. My goal is to improve in behavior management. Coming from primary so it’s an adjustment.🙏🏼How can I reach you?
+Angelica Quintana I something similar, I didn't go thru my whole library but I did a video on a new book order I received for the classroom. czcams.com/video/T5FG43o_Gxg/video.html enjoy 😊
Any music ed. folks weighing in? I am back in school earning my cert. and I would love some ideas for those awkward gaps at the end of class that apply to a band/choir/or general music class.
I'm a English teacher to foreign students, and although it might not be related to the topic as a time filler game I sometimes play music from famous films and they have to guess the film title , in English not their own native language , of course (extra points for guessing the title of the song and older students get even more points if they guess the character singing) it's a quick game because there are already many videos on CZcams with songs ready or you can make a short playlist. With older students you can also try TV show theme songs.
I have done an activity in the past, where I play a piece of music and the kids draw the story that they think the music is telling. Best with instrumental type pieces. I did it when I was teaching more Literature/Writing type subjects. It's great when the kids can then share what they thought... (an idea taken from the book "Going Bohemian: How to Teach Writing Like You Mean It")
I've watched a few of your videos featuring your students , and I've noticed there's only boys , are you in an all boy school ? I'm notorious for running short with my lessons, thank you for these great ideas !
I'm teaching 5 to 9 grade students computer science and there are atleast 50 students in one class .... I don't know how to control them they are all girls and they talk too much and misbehave too.... I don't have a very loud voice and I'm an introvert too so this job is really hard for me :(
I think I should just record videos and pretend I’m going to upload them to my CZcams channel, maybe then they’ll be on their best behavior like your students. 😬😬
Well I’ve learned many things along my CZcams journey and one of those being background music can be very distracting and the volume can fluctuate severely. Sorry this is an older video before I knew better. Thanks for watching it anyway!
wow, thank you for taking time to write this, I just start my teaching carer and your videos really helped me a lot. You really doing something awesome, keep up the great work.
"Stop putting your hand up. I am famous"
That was hilarious.
+Anna Sinnott 😂 They keep trying to steal my spotlight! I tell them to get their own channel! 😏
Real Rap With The Reynolds I made a video with my fifth graders. I was in the classroom, teaching them like a regular day. I received consent to record them, but I look back on the video, and one of my kids is in the front row, right in front of my iPad camera, smiling and waving to the camera. So adorable. (They knew they'd be lowkey famous, so they hammed it up). 😂😂😂
I scared my cat laughing at "my haters motivate me"
Dude I'm not even a teacher and I love these vlogs - lol
Haha! Thanks Sea! I've never heard that name before. Where are you from?
Ye, my first initial is C, so I go by this pseudonym online, college baseball team use to call me by this name too, minus the "ert" - & I'm from the great state of California! Yeehaw
Nice! My brother lives in Ventura. It's one of my favorite places in the world. Have a great holiday weekend!
Hi ,can I mail you please ? I've some questions concern teaching
“Ideas to keep your class silent for 10 minutes”.... *activities have the entire class screaming...*
More ideas please!!! I had a moment where my lesson plan ended early and I had a mini heart attack not exactly sure what to do. Oh the joys of first year teaching. 😂

These are awesome! Thanks for all the great ideas!
Brilliant! I especially appreciate the relationship you have with your students! Awesome

Mr. Reynolds, you rock. Not kidding.
I love these early finishers!!
Thanks Jen! Love your summer plan btw! Can't wait to see how it turns out!
THANK YOU FOR THIS!! I just started working for the YMCA, I do y care (before and after school care at an elementary school) we have some awkward breaks definitely, I modified the marker game for our cafeteria. Thanks!

That finding a hidden item game was my favorite as a kid. It's called Huckle Buckle Beanstalk.

haha weird pictures! Love it! I'm pulling this one out this week. I'll have my kids draw themselves as an old person!
+Mr. Thain yeah will totally work for all grades! Hope they have fun with it!
you are so hilarious but so helpful at the same time. My kids would love you.
Thanks Tracy!
As always, SUPER fun and helpful! ❤️ and hugs from Missouri.
+GlitterandJams 😁 glad your finding them helpful! 🙌🏽 Missouri!
Can’t remember if I’ve commented on this one before, lol. But if I didn’t say it before, I LOVE these ideas!! The quiet ones AND the loud ones!
Love this Video & How you are engaged with your students!!! New Subscriber!

Good luck! I’m a high school teacher and don’t want to do anything else. We need more people like you with us!
Did you make it?

Fantastic. I wish I'd found you when I was subbing--teachers NEVER leave enough work for the class when they're gone.
Subbing is a tough gig. Are you going into teaching?
I definitely don't want a lord of the Rings situation. that book scarred me as a kid. love the ideas. my five year olds would love some of those too.
☺️☺️ Thanks!
I found your channel because of your review of pocketful of primary! I have enjoyed your content on here and on instagram!
+9826aa Awesome glad you found me and thanks for following along and watching!
Thanks for the great ideas.... Although we are still in a pandemic season😔 I guess the activities can be adapted to be safe enough for everybody
I love those floating book shelves so much! I need to watch some CZcams videos about drilling into concrete walls...
I have a subscription to Flocabulary and my kids love voting on (screaming out suggestions for) a video to watch if we have a few minutes left 😉
+toocoolformiddleschool blog Those shelves are one of my favorite things in my room. I built them a few years ago. The school was buying bookshelves for the teachers and I asked if I could have cash to make my own.
Someone suggested flocabulaty to me at the end of the school year. I'll check it out. Thanks!
You gotta do an updated version!
Nice tips Real Rap with The Reynolds. Some creative ideas.
Thanks Dan!! Sometimes I'm not sure if I do this stuff for the kids or for me!
A suspect it's for you and the kids. Who wouldn't want to flip whiteboard markers onto the whiteboard ledge. It's good to have a few things you can do in the last few minutes of a lesson.
+Rocking Dan Teaching Man Totally! Gotta have fun in everything you do!
Reynolds, I really enjoy your videos and all the insight. I am a retired cop starting to teach Social Studies in a high risk junior high school. We aren’t as big as your town (in Colo Spgs, CO) but we face a lot of similar issues I think. Student in Homeless situations, gangs, single parents, absent parents, etc.... I love your game ideas to create a fun atmosphere not seen in most classrooms. I’d like to no more of them please. Also wondering what you would says is one piece of advice you can give to be relevant, not popular with this group. I don’t want to be just another teacher trying to appear like I care, I really do and want to create the atmosphere of trust and belonging. Best Regards Brian in Colorado.
Another great one: put a quarter on the white board, up high. Let it slide down. If student can stop it with their nose before it hits the ledge, they keep the quarter (or some other prize). I have to get a talk kid to run the game, as I am barely 5’1” and can’t reach above most my students’ heads, lol! They LOVE this game!
you are currently my spirit animal
Thank uu!! My lesson ran so short and i had 30 minutes left i had no idea what to do, so i just gave them bunch of exercises to do in class and correct them tgt
OMG THE TOUCHING！I don't get it either 😂
It’s a mystery 😂
Yesss moreee ideas plz lol you rock
Coming right up! 👍
Yes please make more! I'm frequently faced with the problem - what if some of the kids finish an assignment and have to wait for the others? And also, when I'm teaching online, what activities could I do, since obviously all the "group" or movement activities aren't right?
Idk about the online question, but you can always have kids read or draw if they finish early.
Brilliant!
Please make more early finish videos!!!
This is the absolute best! I am so happy I found your channel yesterday! Your kids are total hams - I love it! I'm a middle school drama teacher and I'm willing to bet they would love quick improv games to finish out the class period too! You clearly have an amazing relationship with them - do you have any videos on your classroom management style? Thanks!
My guys are total hams! Haha! I've never done improv games. That's a great idea. Where could I go to find some good examples? I do have a classroom management video. I'm going to make one over the summer as well that will focus on some more unorthodox approaches I use. Have a great weekend!
Real Rap With The Reynolds Awesome! I'm happy to share the list of games I taught in improv class this year. What's your email address?

Thanks so much!!
Real Rap With The Reynold My pleasure!
Great ideas..thanks
You teach how I wanna teach
Hey from New Zealand!! I think you might be my saviour! lol I start teaching 2019. You are a natural. Thanks for sharing your awesomeness ;-)
😊 thanks Vicky! 2019 can feel far but hang in there. Please please let me know if I can ever help with anything. 😊
Real Rap With Reynolds Thank you so much!
Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing.
Thanks, will do!
These are really good activities. Thank you.
Thanks buddy!
One of the best teacher I have ever met. Thank u soo much for this video sir. I would like to implement some of ur ideas and tricks in my class too. Lots of love from India.....
Thanks so much for the kind words! ❤️
you're great,love the video
Thanks!
I love these ideas! Thanks for sharing! I also have no idea why my 8th graders insist on touching each other....🙄
THE TOUCHING!!! I shoot kids with water pistols when they do it too much!
After their test I gave them a coloring page of an image related to the next unit. They were so quiet.
Nice. It's time to make my classroom a little more fun and hopefully I will find a few particularly 'lively' students less 'challenging'. : - )
That’s awesome Mike! Best of luck!
Very original! Never heard of these ideas before. Hi! From a singaporean teacher :)
+Moolee Mdm Singapore 🇸🇬 awesome!!! Hope your able to use them in class! Thanks for watching, appreciate it!
Awesome!
Thanks Dylan!
Awesome
Wow everyone...head down working
+Iroshi rose They are good boys!! Thanks for watching, appreciate it!
Summer is here and I'm enjoying a Reynolds Marathon. Fun ideas!! Question? Where are the girls?
+Liana Ayres We're a all boys charter school.

Ur class is fun
Fun ideas!!!
Thank you Virshone! That's a great name btw!
Real Rap With The Reynolds Thanks! Can't ever find a keychain with my name on it though, lol!!! My 10 yr old daughter loves you too and thinks you're cool! She says "Hi!" too!
+Virshone Brinkley Sproles tell her I said thank you. My son is named Brody and my daughter Marley. We always laugh that they can't find keychains too😂😂
Lol!!!
Teaching 7th grade language arts! First year!!!
Do you have ideas for games (i.e. improv games, etc.) for the end of class?
Miko Santos "Bus Stop" is super easy and you just need three chairs facing the desks. One person sits in the middle while the other person exhibits annoying qualities and behaviors until the original person moves down/and eventually off of the bus stop. I have a thousand of them up my sleeve if you want more!
I have a different question. Would you record a video for my class? weird reight : )) would you?
I like your style. I can relate to it. I think I am similar. I’d love some advice new to middle school English, teaching all girls classes. My goal is to improve in behavior management. Coming from primary so it’s an adjustment.🙏🏼How can I reach you?
can you do a video on your classroom library??
+Angelica Quintana I something similar, I didn't go thru my whole library but I did a video on a new book order I received for the classroom. czcams.com/video/T5FG43o_Gxg/video.html enjoy 😊
😇
Any music ed. folks weighing in? I am back in school earning my cert. and I would love some ideas for those awkward gaps at the end of class that apply to a band/choir/or general music class.
I don’t think it always needs to fit into what we’re teaching. Just adding a bit of fun at the end of class keeps the class fresh and interesting.
I'm a English teacher to foreign students, and although it might not be related to the topic as a time filler game I sometimes play music from famous films and they have to guess the film title , in English not their own native language , of course (extra points for guessing the title of the song and older students get even more points if they guess the character singing) it's a quick game because there are already many videos on CZcams with songs ready or you can make a short playlist. With older students you can also try TV show theme songs.
I have done an activity in the past, where I play a piece of music and the kids draw the story that they think the music is telling. Best with instrumental type pieces. I did it when I was teaching more Literature/Writing type subjects. It's great when the kids can then share what they thought... (an idea taken from the book "Going Bohemian: How to Teach Writing Like You Mean It")
Is that an all AA high school?
LOVE it Bro! I'm in Stockholm Sweden and I just started teaching last week., And your 💩is the 💣!!! I'm out ✌🏾️
I've watched a few of your videos featuring your students , and I've noticed there's only boys , are you in an all boy school ? I'm notorious for running short with my lessons, thank you for these great ideas !
Yes I’m at a all Boys school.
The 1 dislike was a kid you gave an F to haha.
I'm guessing the constant touching is going to come to an end when school starts up soon (Fall 2020).
Your floor is a mess Reynoldz!
Do you have any ideas for what to do in a math class when the lesson plan runs short?
Who is the "hipster teacher on instagram" that you referred to? He looks exactly like my bio professor lol
Sadly he no longer exists. 🥺
I'm teaching 5 to 9 grade students computer science and there are atleast 50 students in one class .... I don't know how to control them they are all girls and they talk too much and misbehave too.... I don't have a very loud voice and I'm an introvert too so this job is really hard for me :(
I think I should just record videos and pretend I’m going to upload them to my CZcams channel, maybe then they’ll be on their best behavior like your students. 😬😬
For reaaaall 😂😂 i was like why are his students so quiet, mine when i ask them to draw something they start talking and stuff i have to shut them up
Who is the girl in the back? I thought this was an all boys school.
lol
Bruh your Song of Ice and Fire books are in the wrong order
I don't see the point of the background music.
Well I’ve learned many things along my CZcams journey and one of those being background music can be very distracting and the volume can fluctuate severely. Sorry this is an older video before I knew better. Thanks for watching it anyway!
wow, thank you for taking time to write this, I just start my teaching carer and your videos really helped me a lot. You really doing something awesome, keep up the great work.
Foobar Yorozuya Thanks so much! Good luck on the journey and please reach out if I can ever be of any help. ✌🏽
