Also, routines create a comfortable and predictable learning environment for students. This can help build students&#8217; confidence and reduce their anxiety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Routines and procedures for classroom management are important for all students in any grade level. Although it&#8217;s helpful to establish basic classroom rules for instructional time to run smoothly, it&#8217;s also significant when teaching a unit and providing assignments throughout the school day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are a few ways to incorporate fun and academic classroom routines into your daily teaching with Nearpod&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/nearpod.com\/blog\/6-quick-ways-to-use-interactive-activities-in-the-classroom\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">interactive activities<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>New to Nearpod?<\/strong><em><strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><em>Teachers can sign up for free below to access these resources, interactive activities, and engaging lessons.

Start off with an engaging bell ringer<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When students enter the classroom or begin a new unit, have a bell ringer or bell work ready for them to complete. The bell ringer should be a fun activity that&#8217;ll excite and teach students about what&#8217;s to come, such as a gamified learning activity. This way, you can focus on getting all your students where they need to be, and the rest of the class gets a little game-based reward for punctuality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Place a Matching Pairs activity at the very beginning of your lesson to establish a classroom routine. It\u2019ll be the first thing your students see when they join the lesson, giving them something to work on immediately.

Collaborative classroom discussions should be at the forefront of learning. Embed moments into your instruction to check in on how students are feeling emotionally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/nearpod.com\/blog\/collaborative-learning-collaborate-board\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Collaborate Board<\/a> is the perfect tool to use to jumpstart the discussion. This feature gives all students a voice to share how they&#8217;re feeling. Collaborate Board is a digital bulletin board where students can respond to a prompt or question using images, text, GIFs, or audio. All students can see the responses from the class and can &#8216;like&#8217; their favorites. Teachers can decide whether they want to make the board anonymous or public by turning off or on student names.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Collaborating on <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/nearpod?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@nearpod<\/a>.

Add these activities to the middle of your Nearpod lesson and enable the timer for friendly competition! Up the stakes by giving the winner a small reward,  such as a night off homework.
