Also, be sure to tell the kids that it takes TIME lol, one stick pulled out or even 10 doesn’t mean the balls will fall.įirst, I first start by coming up with something that the whole class needs to work on. Now in the classroom, the students want the balls to drop because it will allow them to get a reward. The person who drops the last ball loses (kinda like Jenga).
The goal is to pull the sticks out and not let the balls drop. So be on the lookout there too for the same one I use. Now, some of you have searched high and low for mine and I love all the places you did find it for second-hand like Mercari, eBay, and Facebook Marketplace. What’s even more budget-friendly is to just get the regular-sized one, it will work just as well. BUT… I did find a similar one that I have linked below, click on the picture to buy it. Now before I get ahead of myself, just know that this giant Kerplunk game pictured above is no longer available on Amazon, where I originally got it (also heard it was from Toy R Us).
So many of you reached out to me about how to use it in your classroom and how it works. Well, it’s not really a secret because I have had this Kerplunk game for 4 years now and loving sharing it with you mostly on my Instagram.
This is my secret classroom management idea, play a game so the kids don’t know it’s actually helping them complete a goal by doing work.
