One of my go-to ice breakers is to make an origami super jumping frog. It's fairly simple to make and if made well, the frog can jump pretty high. Anyway, I am the science teacher and I thought, we study frogs in science, so it's applicable.
Little dd I know that I was responsible for unleashing a "Plague of Frogs" of biblical proportions!! My co-workers would mention to me in a round about way
Co-worker (CW): "Are you finished teaching the origami frog lesson yet?"
Me: "Sure, why?"
CW: Because I am confiscating about 20 of them every class." (hint of frustration in the tone)
Me: Oops, sorry. Yeah go ahead and confiscate - I'm done.
My students loved making them, and they are doing so in great numbers. Two students in particular have over 30 frogs each. I guess you can't have everyone like you all the time :)
