The Details!

Spare Time Sunshine is designed to become a key piece of your classroom routine. When students complete classwork early or otherwise have down time, they can select an activity from a set of 25 options. These activities range from creating a comic strip to designing a quiz — there are enough options to play to all strengths and challenge learners to grow in their understanding of course content!

Once students complete an activity, they can color in a ray of sunshine. After completing 10 activities, they can submit their colorful sunshine tracker in exchange for a reward of your choice! Choose something that works for your students and your classroom — an assignment pass, a sticker, extra credit points, a piece of candy...it's up to you!
