Wrist Band Heaven!    Do you make teams or small groups and then the next minute you have  no idea who is on each team or group?  I tried using jersey’s/pinnies but they  were so time consuming for the Kindergarten students to get on and off.   Wrist bands to the rescue!   These inexpensive and easy to use wrist bands have become my new best friend  with my Kindergarten students. I bought mine from US Games with my Jump for Heart gift certificates.  They cost $17.99 for a pack of 12.

This week we are getting ready to do our Fall Halloween Stations and you know it, my "Kinders" will all have on their wristbands to help them remember which team they are on!  Now I can focus on the skills and station work without losing my mind over rotatin...
