    • Have students watch this video on musicals. I would give them the choice of moving to the carpet or staying on their risers if they are listening. If they are talking, I would send them all to their risers.

    • There are questions before it starts to discuss as a group, and times when it dings for you to pause it and discuss the questions as a group. I’ve attached the discussion guide.

  • Gonggi: a dice game from Korea: Some classes learned this during lunar new year, but it will be a good way to spend the last few minutes. Have them watch the video and then break into pairs. Each pair of students gets 5 dice to play.

      Rule overview: Round one, you throw a dice and then pick up one before catching it until you have picked up all. Round 2, is the same as round one but you pick up two at a time. Round three is the same except three at a time. Round four, they start with all dice in their hands, throw one up, set the other four down, and then catch the one. Then, they throw that one dice again, picking the four back up before they catch it. Round five, start with all five dice in your palm. Throw them all up and catch them on the back of your hand. Then, throw them up again and catch them all.

    • Remind them that this game is VERY tricky and it’s ok if they never get past round one today.
