• Skipping rope activity - An area is cleared in the classroom and the teacher places a long skipping
rope here. The teacher puts ‘Agree’ and ‘Disagree’ signs at either end of the skipping rope. On hearing
the statement, students go to the end of the skipping rope which most represents their opinion. In
this activity students can choose to stand at different points of the rope depending on how much
they agree/disagree with the statement. After discussing the students’ viewpoints about the
statement, students are allowed to change their position on the skipping rope.
• Mini whiteboards activity - On hearing the statement, students write ‘agree/ disagree/ or I don’t know’
on the mini whiteboard. They share their answers with their classmates and discuss their thoughts.
