Gel Bags

So I have a couple kiddos in my class that hate to write, much less write their spelling words! I found a great way to get them to want to write, without force!! :) I got a ziplock bag and filled it with hair gel. Then I put a few drops of blue food coloring in it to make it dark. I give my kids the "gel bags" during small group so that they can practice writing their words to know, spelling words, word families, or even math facts! It beats the mess of shaving cream..yet keeps the kids focused, motivated, and wanting to practice! The key in my class is having my students learning, while they think they are just having fun!!
