What are some favorite “teacher bits”?

I teach college, but I still like to incorporate teacher bits, and I know several K-12 teachers who do as well. Sometimes I’ll use random wheel spinners. Or when a student says they don’t know I ask “what would you say if you did know?” I’ve seen a teacher make a point to randomly take the cap off a pen throughout class (it makes a satisfying pop sound).

Kids dont want to go uo to board to solve. "Thats fine, you come up. ill help and tell you what to write." Then i basically walk them through, ok step 1 we need to do X because of Y. Do you know what i mean? No? ok just write .... Ok see how you wrote that, we wrote that because. Ok any guess next step? Basically. i usually take those students who dont want to do their work, im nice ans friendly, and i have them solve with me on the board. Especially the outgoing kids who arent shy, but just lost. It helps everyone, not just that kid. Im overly positive. Praise. Help them a ton. Usually i have dumb prizes i give them afterward. Then when they finish and sit down i got unlimited volunteers willing. I am a complete sarcastic ahole most the time, but abaolutely also (i like to think) like a schizophrenic one of the most positive supportive teachers i know. the kids enjoy it.

Im not sure what you mean by "teacher bits." Like, using a wheel spinner, having funny clapbacks to kids, and using a pen to make random noise are really different things, ranging from just good pedagogy (wheel spinners ftw) to being distracting (with those pen noises)... That said, I love using a wheel spinner and then just calling on whichever kid looks most relieved that it wasn't them (or, after they catch on, whichever kid looks like they're trying the hardest to look nonchalant about it).

  What is any of this?

I'll tape "gullible" to the ceiling. Whenever a kid mentions gaslighting, I'll say that it's actually gaslamping and you're crazy to think otherwise. Some will get it and others will be confused.

Look out into the hall, stick my head out to make sure no one is listening/nearby and then tell them something in a hushed voice as if it's a secret: "I probably shouldn't tell you this, but (generic bit of curriculum)"

Sometimes I count down like this: Twenty, nineteen, eighteen, seventeen, sixteen, fifteen, fourteen, thirteen, twelveteen, eleventeen, tenteen, nineteen, etc. until they catch on and grumble. Hehehehe

If I can tell that theyre not paying attention, I call my ,,colleagues" to finish teaching the class aka use puppets of a cat and a mouse. Silly voices always work. I start every morning telling them our schedule and other stuff but Ill do it as a news reporter. For text analysis I do it in an street interview style, walk around with a ,,microphone" and ask questions.

"You should always show your work. I had a buddy who never showed his work... AND HE DIED!" and variations thereof
