My cooperating teacher engages her students pretty well. One activity involved play-doh. She had the kids make letters out of play-doh, then had them form words with the letters, similarly to the video we watched where the kids had letters on little pieces of paper.
Another activity she did was a "guess what number I'm thinking of" game while they were waiting in line to leave for lunch. She gave them clues like "it's an even number, it's greater than 100, the number in the 100s place is a 2," etc.
A third activity she did was on the class iPads. The students went to a website called Prodigy, where they can play math games.
One activity she does that didn't engage the students as much as it could've was a worksheet on grammar and spelling. She could have made it into a game where the first person to find all the mistakes in the sentence wins.
