Play the game, "There It Is" with the added feature of incorporating classic music. Students still must solve the problem that the computer randomly generates...this time in teams of two. While problems are being solved, a classic song selection plays for teams to guess the name of the song and the artist for extra points.
"Ain't Nothing But a Hound Dog" by Elvis Presley
"Message In A Bottle" by The Police
"M Bop" by Hansen
"Dust in the Wind" by Kansas
Moving forward is a good thing. If you don't move, you become stagnant. If you become stagnant, you smell. (I'm going with a creek bed analogy here...stay with me). "It Is What It Is" helps us to keep our sanity as we try new things, but at the same time we should never settle for "what it is". We should constantly reflect and learn to move our teaching and our student's learning to higher levels so the classroom doesn't turn stale.
