    So cool! I think I’ll combine this with another method I use… I ask a curriculum-related question and the answer becomes our code word. For example, I’ll say, “When you hear the name of our state capital, go!” Then I’ll say one or two words that are frequently but mistakenly named in our classroom as our state capital, before I actually say the right one.

    When I taught primary grades, I used a similar strategy, “Magic Word”. I had to say the magic word following the directions before students could begin. They love helping me select an academic word, or a seasonal word. Now that I’m moving up to 4th grade the “secret code word’ is going to be perfect. Thanks for the printable too.

    I started doing this with my kiddos this year and they absolutely LOVE IT! The great thing about it is that they really pay attention to me while I am giving directions because they just can’t wait to hear the code word. haha Genius idea!

    I started using a code word for my transitions last year in my Kindergarten class. I love that you made such a cute print out display for me to post the secret code word. Thank you.

    Do you have another way to open the code word image? It won’t allow access through my google drive.
