   The way children and staff get into pairs is critical. It is a LIFE SKILL that should get as much attention as teaching manners to children, but it is sadly not even placed in the same category as importance…yet. This resource has been so helpful. Thank you, Mark!

     Couldn’t agree more Emily. To my way of thinking, building connections before the delivery of (any) content is the key to success. Have FUNN…

   I love these ideas! I just did a teacher training workshop and find myself saying get into pairs when playing the debrief games back to back and pair share. Next time I will make it more fun! Thanks Marc. Such a brilliant site and well organized.

   Thanks Marc, these are amazing ideas to form pairs. I work as experiental trainer in Italy and I find the whole data base, not only this activity, incredibly useful for my work

   “Getting into pairs” is such a big responsibility of the Health and Physical Education teacher and these simple tips allow pairs to be formed in an inclusive and safe fashion. I would suggest that the more ridiculous the better and ask a student to pick how you will find your next partner.
