Exchanging Stickies
Part 1 (Classbuilding)
 Place six sticky notes on your faux dry erase board

or caught up on this summer”
When the signal word is given you will stand up, hand up, and pair
up
Each partner takes a turn reading the other partners sticky notes
As one partner reads they take sticky notes that relate to them
somehow.
RULE: There must be one sticky note left on the other persons
board at all times
When done find a new partner until time is called
Exchanging Stickies
Part 2 (Teambuilding)
 Return to your team with your new stickies
 Starting with one person read a sticky from your board
 Initial your sticky and place it in the center of the table
 If there are any other team members who can relate to that sticky
they initial it
 Continue until all stickies are gone
 Discuss your commonalities until time is called
Reflection
 Think Time: “How can I use “Picking Stickies” as a
structure for content?”
 When the signal is given jot down a few ideas by yourself
 All Write Round Robin
 When the signal is given starting with person number 1
read your idea
 If you have it put a star by the same idea if you do not
have it record that idea on your board

Round Robin
Think Time: Look at the following picture. Come up with sentences
that tell us things you know about a locust.
When the signal is given start with person number “3” and have each
person share their sentence.
Only go once around
If you went around more than once what structure would that be called?
Round Table
It’s in the Bag
 Step 1. Starting with person number “1” feel the bag
and write a clue on the Clue Form
 Step 2: Each team member takes a turn. Go around
twice
 Step 3: Once done pass the paper around and each
person reads a clue that has been written on the form.
Team Guesses what they think is in the bag.
 Step 4: After the object has been revealed each team
uses the clue to create a team riddle.
October “SAM”
Rally Coach
Tips and Tricks:
 Be sure to model coaching techniques repeatedly.
 Focus on 4 “T”s of coaching:
Tip*, Tip*, Teach, *Try Again
 Provide coaching hints on the overhead, backs of QQT
cards, etc.
 Can be used with worksheets for 100% engagement.
 Answer sheet can be given or anchor chart used.
 Will be much more effective if Classbuilders and
Teambuilders are being used weekly.
