Bubble Poppin’ Challange

Materials:

• Bottle of Bubbles

Directions:

1. Gather students around you and without saying anything start blowing bubbles. Students will automatically start popping bubbles.
2. Step back and say, “What just happened to us? What is it about bubbles that make us go crazy? I start popping them too.”
3. Issue a challenge: “This time I’m going to blow the bubbles and I bet you a million dollars that you can’t let them fall without going crazy. Now if a bubble falls near you, do NOT pop it. I bet you can’t do it. You’re going to lose control. You’re going to go crazy.”
4. Once they say they can do it, blow the bubbles again, reminding the students not to touch the bubbles.
5. Praise them for using self-control.
