All of you, as teachers, know that the most difficult task in any period is to get the class started and hold the student's attention and get them engaged for a class. Khan Academy has now come up with a simple tool for you to open the class in a fun way and get the kids excited about the learning ahead.

Use these prompts as a warm-up before Khan class starts. You can use these prompts in any setting online or face to face. For teachers who are conducting online classes right now, Refresh will be a great tool to get students to attend. Make sure you start your online class with these activities. If your schools have opened up and you are meeting your students in the class, you can start the class with these activities or close the class on a high note. You can also start your day with students by doing a quick Refresh activity to energize them.

Refresh prompts provide you with an opportunity to strengthen relationships, by having students select the daily prompt with you, lead the discussion or activity, and share their responses with each other.

Stimulate young minds and get them ready for more learning

Address aspects of social-emotional-learning and mindfulness

Energize students with hands-on activities

Each prompt experience is an opportunity for kids to have fun, reflect, and be creative. Teachers help students prepare to learn by giving a prompt to the students that get their brains warmed up, hands active or hearts open.

If you are in a classroom set up, you can project the Refresh page and read the prompts to them or if you are in an online setup, you can share your screen so all the students can see the prompts while you read it out to them.

If you’re looking for an easy way to recognize their achievements, use these student certificates—they’re shareable both digitally and in print!

Give the certificates for the funniest/ most creative/ best effort etc. Capture the fun moments with your class in a video or pics. Don’t forget to share it with us. We would love to showcase your stories and fun moments on our social media.
