Estimated Time: 20-30 minutes
Description: This can be used for any grade level and for virtually any subject. (Kindergarten could use pictures instead of words.) Half of the students get a Post-it® Note with a vocabulary word, math problem, history date, etc. (whatever is appropriate for the lesson or subject and the grade level) written on it (the "Question" note.) The rest of the students each get an "Answer" note which corresponds with one of the "Question" notes. The "Question" students post their stickies on their foreheads or chests for all to see. The "Answer" students hide their stickies. The "Question" students then have to find the person who holds their match by asking the other students pertinent questions about the sticky they have hidden until they find their match.

Estimated Time: 0-10 minutes
Description: When I give back a graded test or quiz, I include a Post-it® Note in the shape of a star or heart that lists the number of points better this score is over the last one earned, when improvement has occured. It takes very little time to write these out, and the recognition is given to everyone who achieves a better score, not just the students who earn "good" grades. My middle school math students take the post its off their papers and wear them as badges.
Math

Estimated Time: 10-20 minutes
Description: The students use the Post-it® Notes to work out their math problems. I sometimes make only a few copies of their word problems and laminate them. The students will get a worksheet and work out the problem on the Post-it® Note. When they are done they either very the answer with me or with a classmate. This way I can use the worksheets again and I dont have to keep making copies. They can be reused. It also helps them practice.
