Morning Tubs

Saturday, March 14, 2020
Morning tubs have been one of the best things I've implemented in my classroom! Check out why I love them & what to put in your Amazon cart right away!



Why should you implement morning tubs? They can...

  • help students develop critical thinking, problem solving skills, and cooperation
  • take the place of normal morning work that tardy students never seem to finish
  • kick off the school day in a fun, creative, and cooperative way
  • be used during STEAM days, Ketchup & Pickle time, indoor recess, etc.

If you're concerned about how to fund your morning tubs, consider these solutions:

  • create a Donor's Choose project
  • ask parents to donate items
  • create an Amazon wish list with these items
  • check Goodwill, consignment stores, or yard sales

I'm linking my favorite items for morning tubs here...

  • Go over the materials/games first & give students instructions on how to play them.
  • Label each container with how many people may play the activity/game at one time.
  • Hang a picture on the wall of how & where each bin/container should be put back on the shelf.
  • Allow voice and choice in what students pick rather than assigning a schedule.
  • Possibly include some prompts or inspirational images for each material.
