Part of this resource is a compilation of tons of ideas and activities found on the internet. Various platforms and pages can become subscription-based at any time. I will update links periodically and continue to add to this resource to make sure you have a rich toolkit at your fingertips. I have also included my own Easy Prep Fun games for Morning Meetings, Friday Fun or Brain Breaks, which make excellent relief teaching activities. My goal here is not to help you find “the website” that will be a game-changer, but rather help you think about creative and engaging strategies that you can use with any resource. If you have any questions, feel free to drop a comment in my Q&A.
