Introduction
(5 minutes)- Call students together.
- Ask students to think about their birth dates, but not to say anything.
- Inform students that as a class, without talking, mouthing, or writing anything down, they need to organize themselves by birth date.
- Once students believe they have successfully done this, have the students go down the row and say their birth dates.
- Allow them to reorder themselves. This time, talking is allowed.
- Once they've gotten into the correct order, congratulate them and inform them that they have just put themselves in chronological order by birth date.
