Rally Ideas

Rock Band Competition: One teacher team and a team from each class.


Steph,

Thank you so much for your help and your ideas. I’m so glad you’re into it!

I’m thinking all of your ideas could work. We could project gutar hero onto a big screen and maybe have the “best guitarist from each class compete: semifinals and final round or something.

I have a guitar and hundred watt amp that I can bring. I could work up a song or something.

Rock on!

Actually, I was serious about the air guitar thing. I would say something that doesn’t require the rest of the students to see the TV (I’m not sure how Guitar Hero works.) The “larger” the better-air guitar has large movements. We have some good (real) guitar players, too. An old-fashioned electric throw-down might be really cool.

What about some sort of costume contest they know about before each assembly? They know the theme (unless it’s a secret) and can try for best costume or group at the assembly. The kids would be excited beforehand, but the actual judging wouldn’t take long.

Another staff-type skit might be good. Starts with the staff, then staff plus kids, then maybe kids could take it over. The students would get used to expecting a short skit, and would probably be quieter for them.

Even small things such as planting kids to start a wave, or to get the classes chanting things at each other would be good, I think.

Fun
