Give yourself a marshmallow clap!

[headinhands]

Hi all. our school are rolling out RWI and I need more praise phrases. I regularly do:

Marshmallow claps
Fireworks
123, well done me
Spectacular
Fantastic
Round of aclaws and one other I have invented myself.

Any more? The kids love them and want some new ideas.

Purr fect

Fab Dabby dozy

Whoosh

Tomato ketchup

A tomato ketchup! Pretend to squirt ketchup and all blow raspberries... Not a traditional one but surprise surprise the children love it!

I wish I knew what this thread meant

Round of applause (clap in a circle!)
Pat yourself on the back
Silent cheer

All above used at my school. However funniest one I ever saw a teacher use was to stand the child on their chair (obviously she stood next to them for h&s!) and the whole class sang a song with the child's name and achievement in it. Sounds really stupid written down but the children loved it and worked so hard to be the one chosen. 😁

I googled marshmallow clap and I'm guessing the urban dictionary definition is not what you are talking about

No idea why my smiley face looks like a grimace! It really wasn't that bad 😊

Superstar

Disco (invented by us, that's the way aha aha I like it aha aha)

WTF is a marshmallow clap? My immediate thought was urban dictionary, I'm not sure I dare check though...

A Microwave (Wave little fingers about).
Crocodile clap (straight arms out in front and clap hands like a crocodiles mouth)
Seal of Approval (backward hands seal clap)

"Seal of approval" - flap/smack your hands together like a seal and say "arf, arf, arf".

I hated myself when we started these, but the children do love them. I still find silent cheers hilarious, but they are helpful for when another class is trying to do something important and we are playing team games in PE!

Does this help?

Fingers crossed none of the kids good marshmallow clap

Cross-post!

I love micro-wave - pinching that one.

Brilliant ideas guys! Give yourself an 'incredi-ball'!

I just made that one up :)

Self high five?!

NC for this as super 'outy'. I do a 'give yourself a dab-ulous'.

WTAF?!

Oh my class are dab-crazy! They'll love 'dab-ulous'

This totally explains that one teacher in primary school who used to do Seal of Approval weird thing with her class. I always just thought she was a bit barmy.

I'm guessing 'well done' is passe

RWI= read, write inc???

Winner, 1,2,3 then all the children say winner and make the usain bolt hand gestures.

Not really praise phrase but just for getting children to look and listen we also love:
Macaroni cheese (lets all freeze)
Hocus pocus (lets all focus)

My reception child loves the marshmallow clap. I remember the older one doing macaroni cheese.

Current fav thing I'd not seen before is "dough disco"!!
