Give your students meaningful opportunities to think, respond and work together, even when your lesson time is limited.
The Dew Bright Elementary Starter Pack brings together nine short, reusable classroom activities for Grades 1–5, along with a practical Teacher Guide. Created by a teacher, the Dew Bright system helps students practise 21st-century thinking skills, executive functions and mental agility through engaging challenges that fit into the school day.
Across English, Math, Science, Social Studies and Art, students are encouraged to generate ideas, explain their reasoning, make decisions, adapt their thinking and communicate with others.
Skills students have opportunities to practise include:
• Creative and critical thinking
• Problem-solving and decision-making
• Quick thinking and mental agility
• Flexible thinking and adaptability
• Attention, working memory and self-control
• Communication, listening and teamwork
Designed for practical classroom use
Each activity includes clear teacher steps and example prompts so that you can introduce it with confidence. Most activities take 5–7 minutes, with approximately 3 minutes of preparation.
There is no need for special equipment or extra resources. Activities use everyday classroom basics such as a board, notebooks and pencils.
Each challenge also includes two versions:
• Intro: An optional guided start to model the activity and explain the rules.
• Activation: A version that encourages greater independence, pace, teamwork or challenge.
Use the activities as warm-ups, lesson starters, transitions or short team challenges. Return to them throughout the year with new prompts and variations to give students fresh opportunities to practise.
